At Christmastime I made my brother a Stollen. In return, he schooled me on techie stuff, like how to enter a blog entry... like this one! Since Christmas, I have been doing more baking than blogging. What can I say, it's still looking white Christmasy at my house. I have now made two more Stollen loaves -- each different from my brother's gift. But since I was at home, they didn't turn out to my satisfaction, mainly because I was relying on memory for the recipe (which is at the bakery, which is closed for a break). I am back to work on Monday so I'll get the recipe and try some more. I've even promised to make it again for my brother and send it to him early next week. I've said I won't let him down. (But I already have since I forgot my password to blog and to my Flickr site! Yup, these words were not typed in by me! Thanks a lot bro!) Either way, just trust me I am Stollen-obsessed and I've been researching it and there are all kinds of variations of this seasonal German treat: hazelnut, chocolate with fruit, marzipan. I am going to make a regular one and one another one... what's your favourite Stollen? Promise to share the results soon!P.S. You saw my Xmas brunch sconewiches but did you see my holiday pound cake with eggnog cream and caramel sauce? Don't think so! Now posted on my Flickr set: KG Bakes
