Stollen (Stollen) is said to be the bread for Christmas in Jesus' childhood. This classic Christmas bread has been popular in Europe more than 300 years ago. It is said that the shape is based on the pillow of Jesus, and the bread contains rich dried fruits. The unique solid taste of the bread and the frosting on the surface are definitely worthy of your own taste. After making the Stollen bread, do not eat it first, but leave it for 4-5 days. After all the rich fruit aromas and light spices are fully released, it is the best time to taste.
Because the process of making Stollen bread is slightly complicated and takes a long time to make, even in Europe, there are only a few bakeries that insist on producing it with purely handmade traditional recipes. The white powdered sugar covers the surface, like the white snow of Christmas in December. It is a bread that must be eaten during Christmas in Europe and other countries. Although this bread is high in sugar and calories, in the severe winter of December, with this energy, people can survive the midwinter. When you eat it with red wine or coffee, it has a special flavor! "
