                 Hand Made

   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    1 1/4  Tsp           yeast
    2 1/2  Cups          all-purpose flour
    1      Teaspoon      salt
    3      Tablespoons   sugar
    3      Tablespoons   almond paste
                         finely grated rind of two oranges
      1/2  Stick         butter -- (2 ounces), melted
    1      Large         egg
    4      Tablespoons   nonfat dry milk
      3/4  Cup           water
      1/2  Cup           pecans -- (3 ounces)
                         To Complete:
      1/2  Stick         Sweet Butter -- Melted
      1/2  C             Confectioner's Sugar -- For Dusting

Place all the ingredients except the pecans in the machine.  Program for 
dough, adding the pecans at the very end of the final knead cycle.

To complete:
1/2 stick (2 ounces) sweet butter, melted
1/2 cup confectioners sugar, for dusting

At the end of the final rise, punch down the dough and transfer it to a 
lightly floured work surface.  Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise 
for 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.  With a lightly floured rolling pin, 
roll the dough into a 14" long oval.  Brush the surface of the dough with 
some of the melted butter and fold it in half, lengthwise.  Press lightly 
on the fold of the dough, pressing toward the open edges.  Do not press the 
outer edges together.  Transfer the shaped dough to a greased and floured 
baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap and allow to rise for 30-40 minutes 
or until double in bulk.

Preheat the oven to 375F with the rack in the center position. Bake the 
stollen for 30-35 minutes or until lightly brown.  Remove from the oven and 
immediately brush with the remaining melted butter and then dust generously 
with the confectioners sugar.

You can make the dough in a (large) bread machine, in the food processor or 
in the mixer (and of course by hand...)

This is a wonderful tasting bread.  I used the dough cycle on my new 
Breadman and it turned out wonderful!!
