Stollen #2

More baking (Christmas not Lockdown!) - and time to revisit stollen, sourdough style:

This recipe was for two 'loaves' and involved an overnight rise, before mixing in the fruit on the second day.  

After their final rise / baking the result looks pretty good:

And tastes yummy - will be making this one again!

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!
