One of my favorite things to bake during the holidays, this lightly sweet, flavorful Christmas bread originated in Dresden, Germany in the late 1500s. The Germans call it ‘Christollen’. While I’d love to enjoy Stollen in Germany one day, for now I’ll be happy to make my own and share it with you!
Stollen is an incredibly soft and tender-yet still dense-bread. It’s lightly sweet and filled with festive, cozy flavors thanks to nutmeg, cardamon, and a generous amount of fruit and nuts soaked in rum & almond extract.
This mixture smells heavenly and will get you really excited. (if you’re a foodie;)
Love this tradition ! Your pictures are phenomenal !
Thank you so much!
