1. Soak the dried fruit first. It is best to do it 2-3 days in advance. Mix all the dried fruit, the rum will not completely overwhelm the dried fruit after adding it, you need to turn it over frequently to allow the dried fruit to fully absorb the rum
2. Soaking is complete, drain it for later use
3. Wash lemon and orange with salt, scrape the skin and set aside
4. Make starter. Mix milk, flour and dry yeast

10. Add the roasted pecans and the drained fruit, stir to make the dried fruit evenly distributed
11. Take out the dough and round it into a container, continue to ferment, and ferment to 1.5 times its size. Because there is too much dried fruit in the dough, it will affect the expansion force of fermentation. It’s about 1.5 times bigger.
12. After fermentation is complete, take out the fermented dough, divide it into 3 doughs of about 360 grams, and round them.
13. Flatten the dough and roll out 1/3 of the dough flat
14. Turn it over and make an indentation in the middle of the other 2/3

20. Spread melted butter on the surface while it is hot, and then sprinkle with thick powdered sugar. Sealed after cooling

Tips:There are too many ingredients to make these three breads, so the chef's machine can make noodles no problem. It is more difficult to make dough in the bread machine (I made the dough twice later). For those of you who use the bread machine, you can subtract one-third of the ingredients to make two Stollen breads
The baking time and temperature can be adjusted according to the size of the bread you make and the habits of your own oven.
Dried fruit can be what you like or what you have at home
