German
It's common for German families to gather on Christmas Eve to eat
this traditional sweet bread.
Prep: 25 min. + rising
Bake: 25 min.
Yield: 18 slices
In a large bowl, combine 1-1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. In
a small saucepan, heat the butter, milk and water to 120-130F Add to
dry ingredients; beat just until moistened. Beat on medium speed for
2 minutes. Add eggs; beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining
flour to form a soft dough. Stir in the raisins, candied fruit,
walnuts, and lemon and orange peel. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
Punch dough down. Turn onto a lightly floured surface. Roll into an
18 x 12" rectangle; spread butter to within 1/2" of edges. Combine
sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over dough. Roll up, jelly-roll style,
starting with a long side; pinch seam to seal.
Place, seam side down, on a greased baking sheet; pinch ends together
to form a ring. With a scissors, cut from outside edge two-thirds of
the way toward center of the ring at 1" intervals. Separate strips
lightly; twist to allow filling to show, slightly overlapping with
the previous piece. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled,
about 1 hour.
Bake at 350F for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from pan
to a wire rack to cool.
For glaze, combine the sugar, vanilla and enough milk to achieve
desired consistency. Drizzle over warm stollen. Decorate with candied cherries.
