This kind of stolen prepared without spices, for me its taste is very self-sufficient. Sometimes only added the orange zest. Dried fruits and candied fruit to fill in weak alcohol or water with the addition of rum/brandy, leave for a few hours, squeeze to grind. Nuts fry, to chop

Yeast pour the warm milk with 1tbsp. l sugar.

Mix the flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, salt.

Approached add yeast, eggs, very soft butter and grated cheese

Knead the dough. It feels sticky, very gentle. Leave for 1 hour in the heat.

Add dried fruit and nuts, stir. Molded on an oiled table Stollen oblong books, covering the top layer of dough to the end. I was formed directly on the baking Mat. Press down the edges. Then I felt that stolen need the same form. First the dough is pressed down on the sides of the means at hand, but the oven still crawled, turned low. After 40 minutes of proofing put it into the preheated oven and bake at 170 degrees for 1 hour. Be guided by your oven.

The flavors are crazy! Get handsome! Liberally grease with butter Stollen hot, then cooled sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy! All peace, warmth and comfort! with the Upcoming holidays!
