Someone said: "Europeans have a tradition of eating rich and rotten bread to celebrate Christmas. Italians eat Panettone, and Germans eat Stollen and Stollen. Stollen is not only high in oil and sugar, but also contains a lot of wine-stained fruit. Dry, roasted nuts, rich spices, and sprinkle enough powdered sugar on the surface to symbolize Jesus who was just born wrapped in a blanket.” I checked the recipes of many people on the Internet, and finally made them according to my own preferences. This is Stollen.
Stollen's look and taste are very different from the usual sweet bread. It is not fluffy, not soft, not light, not light, not moist, not Q, not springy. On the contrary, it is rich, rich, heavy, crisp, rich, and luxurious. "Texas Farmer" said Stollen is suitable for cutting thin slices, serving with a cup of coffee, and enjoying slowly. But when I made it, I only tasted three slices. My daughter came back from school and ate half of the bread in one go. She used her actions to explain how delicious this bread is. Originally, Stollen had to be stored for a long time until Christmas to enjoy, but my Stollen was afraid that it would not be able to wait for Christmas, and it would disappear without a trace tomorrow morning.
