The atmosphere of Christmas spread throughout the circle, and everyone was talking about doing this and that. I also began to think about what to make early. I originally designed a cake myself, but it didn't look like it was Christmas. Desserts. Seeing that everyone makes gingerbread houses, although I like it very much, it was really a bit difficult for me as a novice baker. I wanted to pick and choose, and I would like to make a Christmas bread stolen! Because this bread needs to be stored for 1 to 3 weeks to fully release all the rich fruit aroma, aroma, and light spices, so in order to take slices of pictures, you have to wait patiently and finally be able to organize the recipe on Christmas Eve. It's my big love to add my favorite dried fruits and dried fruits to my bread, but I don't have to worry about gaining weight if I make this high-oil and high-sugar bread this time a year.
I also specifically looked up Stollen's story: Stollen originated from the town of Dresden Dresden in eastern Germany and is a must-have traditional bread for Christmas in Germany. In Europe, bread is usually inseparable from traditional religious culture. This is the case with Storan. This bread symbolizes Jesus in his infancy, and various dried fruits symbolize the gifts brought to Jesus. On the occasion of Christmas, the Germans commemorate the suffering Jesus in the form of sharing the bread.
This cake is also a good choice for a Christmas party and a large celebration cake! This cake was directly translated in "Recipes", but I still took the initiative to change the recipe according to my own taste.

The dough absorbs the butter quickly, so the amount of butter applied after baking is relatively large. 4. After cooling, sprinkle with granulated sugar and a lot of powdered sugar. 5. After 1-3 weeks of storage, all the rich fruit aroma, aroma, and light spices can be fully released, which is the best time to taste. 6.
