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.
