Stollen

poopinmymouth

Ohmmmm my tongue is cuuumming. Stollen ist sehr gut, so viele gutttttttt!!!!111

All the stollen, must eat from every bakery. The ubermensch of baked goods. Fruitcake is like holding a candle to the sun in comparison.

the raisins, the candied citrus peel, the brandy, uffffffffffffffffff

Justin Meisse

alright, someone's gotta post a recipe

I think I might have posted a stollen bread, instead of a stollen cake.

Ive seen those fancy stollen versions too.
The green and red stuff is somekinda gummibear stuff without taste.

You joker! Just figured you guys would know whether a recipe sucked or was authentic.

searching for english recipes, only brought me to very strange results, will translate the recipe of my grandma when i find the time, but basicly we just buy it here, you can get some really great stollen from saxony (this is where it xomes from - dresden, annaberg, awesome stollen) but i doubt you'll get it over there...
i guess i can do the translation tomorrow

but basicly, everything with too many fruits is wrong, no cherries, no strawberries, just simple raisins and candied citrus peel

HAL

Hmmmm Stollen Lecker.

fresh yeast, not the dry stuff and some lukewarm milk with a bit of sugar to give it a liquid to start rising.
rye and wheat flour both on the rather bright side of the spectrum.
butter. find the freshest, most flavorful you can get your hands on.
unpeeled almonds that you peel, dry and grind yourself.
unsulfurized raisins, currants or sultanas left to soak over night in rum or arrak.
candied orange and lemon peel.
fresh spices like ginger, cardamom, coriander seed, nutmeg, mace, cloves, allspice, vanilla, cinnamon, etc... if possible bought whole and roasted/ground yourself.

that's the way ma grandma told me and i'm no one to argue. she won't tell me the exact amounts though... and i always have to wait 3 weeks before i'm allowed to eat it. has to stay tightly wrapped in aluminum foil in a dry, cool place till then.

"only" 1 week left till stollen time. :]

lol fruitcake

I have made it from a recipe and it was good, but the best Stollen I've had was at a gay bar served by a drag queen. I seriously ate the entire loaf of Stollen from the table. It was a little weird having a cake table at a disco, but I was too busy stuffing my face to wonder.

QFT!!! Put a little butter on those bitches as well!

sub_roland

can't say that i have ever had it or heard of it before, i feel so left out, will have to try to find it tomorrow.

EmAr

Mmm looks delicious, never had the chance to try. If I ever visit Germany I'll definitely visit you or at least ask you where to eat at Stolleninmymouth..oh I mean poop

this thread made me buy some Stollen from Sainsburys, duno how far off the taste is compared to the "good stuff" but this just tastes like a hot cross bun with lots of extra sugar ;o

Doesnt taste "bad" but not amazingly great either

Wahlgren

You are forgetting that he's american. Sugar's like crack for him! ;O

Joshua Stubbles

Sort of reminds me of Italian panettone. Though this is obviously a cakey desert. Panettone still has candied citrus peel and raisins, though.

rawkstar

Is that the same thing as the Russian Keks? it looks like it...

Man that thing posted by bbob looks good whatever it is. I think I'll have a hard time finding it here in Hawaii though I guess I'll just have to keep an eye out for it...

bbob

Ahh, just convinced my boss that hunting for stollen was a noble cause. So here I sit, with my belly full of marzipan stollen..

Gotta love that heavyset brandy drenched goodness..
