Stollen
polycounter lvl 19
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

it looks like one of those human body xrays, except you can eat it!
what do you mean "except you can eat it"
whatever this is, its not a stollen :X
what is in that thing?
But that picture eld posted looks like a stollen 2.0
This however is real stollen:
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.
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
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.
"only" 1 week left till stollen time. :]
Doesnt taste "bad" but not amazingly great either
Gotta love that heavyset brandy drenched goodness..
