Olly Posted November 29, 2016 Share Posted November 29, 2016 So, the mini Christmas cakes are made and being fed with brandy , the Christmas puddings were made on Sunday and one is in the pressure cooker, the other will follow. And so yesterday I was a bit bored and thought I'd like to try something new, and I recalled this recipe. I've never made stollen before, and I'm not very experienced with yeast cookery - it is a very wet dough as the recipe says, and the final result was a bit of a splodge rather than a loaf or a cake. However it is absolutely delicious, somewhat to my surprise! Ostensibly it was made to give to people coming to my house for a committee meeting last night but if I'm honest, about half of it has found its way into my mouth, purely for testing purposes you understand. I may have to make some more ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I must give that a go, I have wanted to make stollen for ages, although it is not really compatible with a low calorie low carb diet maybe I will wait for a couple of weeks.

Olly Posted November 30, 2016 Author Share Posted November 30, 2016 I've just given the remaining piece to a friend as I knew otherwise I'd just scoff it. I don't really like marzipan usually, but it was absolutely delicious! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bramble Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 I saw the heading of this post and read it as "Christmas baking - stolen" What a dope!!! Glad your stollen was a success though!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
