Before you jump to Stollen recipe, you may want to read this short interesting healthy tips about Healthy Eating Can Be An Easy Thing To Follow.

Making the decision to eat healthily provides many benefits and is becoming a more popular way of life. There are many illnesses linked with a poor diet and there is a cost to the overall economy as people suffer from diseases such as heart disease and hypertension. Although we’re always being encouraged to adopt healthy eating habits, it is also easier than ever to depend on fast food and other convenience items that are not beneficial for us. In all likelihood, a lot of people assume that it takes a great deal of work to eat healthily and that they will need to drastically alter their way of life. It is possible, though, to make a few small changes that can start to make a positive impact to our daily eating habits.

You can obtain results without removing foods from your diet or make considerable changes immediately. If you would like to commit to a wholesale change, that is OK but the main thing at first is to try to see to it that you are making more healthy eating choices. As you become accustomed to the taste of these foods, you will see that you’re eating more healthily than before. Slowly, your eating habits will change and your new eating habits will completely replace the way you ate before.

Thus, it should be quite obvious that it’s not at all hard to add healthy eating to your daily lifestyle.

We hope you got insight from reading it, now let’s go back to stollen recipe. To cook stollen you only need 16 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you achieve that.

The ingredients needed to prepare Stollen:
  1. You need 500 g All-Purpose Flour
  2. Take 100 g Caster Sugar
  3. You need 150 g butter, softened
  4. Take 1 egg + 1 egg yolk
  5. Get 100 g sourdough starter
  6. Get 200 ml Whole Milk
  7. Take 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  8. Take 2 drops almond extract
  9. You need 2 pinches mixed spice
  10. Prepare 7 g salt
  11. Provide 200 g raisins/currants/dried blueberries etc
  12. You need 80 g mixed candied peel
  13. Prepare 100 ml cardamom coffee
  14. Provide 225 g Marzipan
  15. Prepare melted butter
  16. Take icing sugar
Steps to make Stollen:
  1. Make dough by mixing flour, sugar, starter, butter, egg, milk, vanilla extract, almond extract and mixed spice. Work into a dough and then knead for a bit. Work in the salt and then knead some more. 7 minutes kneading in total.
  2. Leave to prove for 5hours at 20C. While it is proving, make a coffee. Not for you - we are going to soak the fruit in it. Ideally you want to make a double espresso with about 8 cardamom pods in it. (crack them, so liquid can get into the pods, but don't open them so the seeds fall out). Add the cardamom pods while the coffee is still hot, and then leave to sit at room temp for an hour or so.
  3. Remove the cardamom pods from the coffee and pour the coffee into a bowl containing the raisins and the mixed peel. Stir occasionally over the course of the next few hours (while the dough is still proving).
  4. Make Marzipan (unless you just bought it).
  5. When the dough has finished proving (it might have doubled in size, don't worry if it hasn't quite) drain any excess liquid from the fruit and work it into the dough by doing a series of folds. This becomes quite hard work when there is a lot of fruit. Don't worry if you can't get it all into the dough.
  6. When the fruit is evenly distributed, roll it flat to about 45cm x 35cm. Roll the Marzipan flat to 35cm x 20cm. place the Marzipan on top of the dough and roll it up so that you have a sausage-shaped loaf with a swirl of dough running through the centre. It should be quite big. Don't worry if there is exposed marzipan sticking out the end. This will turn into the most excellent burnt bits imaginable.
  7. Leave to prove for another 2 hours.
  8. Bake at 180C for 1 hr.
  9. Poke holes in the dough using a cake tester, then melt butter onto the surface and try to work it into the holes. When the Stollen has cooled, dust with icing sugar.

It is made with candied fruit, butter, marzipan and decorated with icing sugar.
