redfrock Posted December 13, 2009 Share Posted December 13, 2009 could I leave the rum out? I've only got brandy .... or apple juice! LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 I was going to make one for work without the alcohol, as I have a couple of colleagues who do not take alcohol for religious reasons. I suppose that rules out flavourings too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted December 14, 2009 Author Share Posted December 14, 2009 could I leave the rum out? I've only got brandy .... or apple juice! LOL! I usually leave the rum out because I never remember to buy any . It works fine without it or you could add brandy. I haven't tried apple juice but I don't see why that wouldn't work if you wanted to try as it's only 1tsp and shouldn't affect the dough.

Charlottechicken Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Just made one, it's not going to last long and there's only me here I put all the ingredients straight in the breadmaker and put the dough setting on. When it was done I knocked it back and left it on the radiator for 35 minutes to prove again (first time was in the breadmaker) then put it in the oven. It was done after 20 minutes and is the largest Stollen I have ever seen, and smells divine I used cranberries instead of raisins as they were cheap in Home Bargains I will try one with marzipan and melted butter with icing sugar on at the weekend Thanks for the recipe Kate, I'm never buying stollen again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 Nope! Went to the Christmas market and came back to a larger one outside my room on a plate with a Merry Christmas label Brought both home. Such self control Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 *Charlottechicken picks herself off floor* Did you wait to see if they would leave and even larger one if you didn't eat that one too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 No, but I was tempted to sneak out at midnight and search all 23 floors to see if there were anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I made one today. Was a bit worried about my easy blend yeast as I think its been open slightly too long. But it rose beautifully and tastes gorgeous and is very light. Thank you for the recipe Not too sure how long it will last though. Its quite popular here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Mmmm I think we'll have a go at maknig this over the holidays. Stollen was on sale at the Christmas markets for £10 for one half the size of Lesley's previous pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jules. Posted December 20, 2009 Share Posted December 20, 2009 I've made one today, its just cone out of the oven & I'm eating a slice. It's really yummy. I didn't have any plain flour, so I used bread flour & its still lovely & light & moist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
