Ingredients
 

Pre-dough

  • 1 kg Wheat flour 550
  • 126 g Yeast fresh
  • 20 g Sugar
  • 200 ml Milk warm (approx. 40 ° C)

dough

  • 200 g Sugar
  • 14 g Salt
  • 1 tsp Ground cardamom
  • 1 tsp Ground mace
  • 100 g Wheat flour 550
  • 200 ml Milk warm (approx. 40 ° C)
  • 400 g Butter

filling

  • 550 g Sultanas
  • 100 g Orange peel
  • 200 g Lemon peel
  • 200 g Chopped almonds

After baking

  • Liquid butter
  • Sugar
  • Powdered sugar

Instructions
 

Pre-dough

  • Put the yeast, sugar, milk and a tablespoon of flour in a shaker. Shake well so that the yeast largely dissolves.
  • Cover the pre-dough and cover it in a warm place for about 15 minutes.

dough

  • Mix the dry ingredients in a bowl and add to the pre-dough.
  • Add the butter in small pieces and the milk. Knead the dough until you get a smooth, non-sticky dough.
  • Let the dough rise again for 15-20 minutes.

filling

  • Knead the dough well and work in the ingredients for the filling.
  • Let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes.
  • Lightly knead the dough again on the work surface and bring it into its typical shape. To do this, form a square (approx. 3-4cm thick) then fold over about a third and then place the opposite side over it. (There are tons of videos on the net)
  • Place the stollen on a baking sheet and let it rise in the oven at approx. 40 ° C for 30 - 60 minutes. Then turn the temperature up to 180 ° C and bake the stollen for 75 - 100 minutes.

After baking

  • Brush the still hot Stollen with plenty of melted butter and sprinkle with sugar, then sprinkle thickly with powdered sugar.
  • When the tunnel has cooled down, it is wrapped in aluminum foil and has to rest for at least a week, ... better longer if you manage to wait that long 😉
