German Stollen

German Stollen
  • 8 cups all-purpose flour
  • 3 ounces compressed fresh yeast
  • 1 pinch white sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lukewarm milk
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup white sugar
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 3/4 cups chopped blanched almonds
  • 1 1/4 cups raisins
  • 6 tablespoons candied lemon peel
  • 6 tablespoons chopped candied orange peel
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar


  1. Place flour in a large bowl, make a well in the center, and crumble fresh yeast into it. Sprinkle in sugar and add 1 tablespoon milk. Cover and let rise at a warm place for 15 minutes.
  2. Heat 1 1/2 cups milk and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat until butter is melted.
  3. Pour milk-butter mixture over yeast mixture and add 1 cup sugar, egg yolks, and salt. Knead until a soft dough forms. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  5. Mix almonds, raisins, candied lemon peel, and candied orange peel together and fold into the dough. Shape dough into a loaf and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rest until the loaf has risen again slightly, about 30 minutes.
  6. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  7. Bake in the preheated oven until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove from oven. Brush hot stollen immediately with 2 tablespoons melted butter and dust with confectioners' sugar.
