Stollen

In the run up to Christmas I'd been thinking about trying something a bit new in the baking line, and making some stollen.

So here, we go, first attempt . . . .   made the dough in the breadmaker, mixing in the fruit in the last few minutes (never been keen on candied peel, so substituted cranberries), left it to rise, then rolled in some marzipan.


On its second rise its turned into a bit of a monster, so looks like the method worked ok.

And here's the 'finished' (baked) product, nicely dusted with butter and icing sugar - and yes, it tastes pretty good too!
