Stollen

baking mama — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 15:25:32 +0000

moist and delicious

I followed this method to shape 2 loaves and they look closer to the German Stollen we regularly buy every Christmas season.

with marzipan filling

I found a website for Dresdner Stollen that suggests to form the dough into a loaf and make a 1/3-inch deep slash right down the middle. I find this easier and the Stollen doesn’t look bad at all.
