Pro tip from a German hobby baker and Stollen lover since age 0: When you cut it, don't cut it from the end. Cut your slices from the middle, then push both halves back together. That way it stays moist. Pro tip 2: We bake our Stollen early. My mom and mother-in-law made theirs in late October. It keeps as long as fruitcake does.
American here, who took a class and got a wonderful recipe for stollen. Sally’s recipe is very similar, I think, but we made a poolish the night before & we were told to soak our fruit for 3-6 months, if possible. I also think Sally shaped her loaf pretty well - many UA-camrs just wrap the dough around the marzipan in a round log. We dip our COOLED loaves in clarified butter (ghee is also good). This seals it and adds to its keeping qualities. Also coat in icing (powdered) sugar twice after the butter. Stollen is fabulous! I’m happy to get the tip about cutting in the middle & putting the 2 halves together.
The recipe is great as always, but I just had to comment on the videography in this. The video looks gorgeous! The lighting is perfect, the camerawork looks like something straight from TV, the whole thing has a really professional feel. Props to Sally for leading the show, and props to whoever is doing all the work behind the scenes!
I’ve never heard of a stollen, but it looked very interesting. I'm glad to see that you were able to master the yeast. Thank you for sharing this with us. Please pass on my thanks to Sam for offering up his kitchen along with the sharpest knife in England for the filming of this video. We're all vocal about how much we adore watching Sally, Jemma, and Dane make amazing treats, but we also appreciate the ever-invisible Sam for his great filming and editing, too.
Fellow German here who's never actually baked Stollen myself but I've eaten my fair share of Stollen in the past and I can attest that this looks delicious and just like the one my grandma baked a few days ago. Good job! :)
Whilst I'm unable to spend Christmas with my grandma, I'm so excited to make this recipe for her. On Christmas morning, she always has stollen for breakfast, just like her mom used to. She usually buys it from Aldi here in the US, but I've never thought to make one on my own. Thank you for the recipe and idea!
Great to see a stollen recipe. As a Dutch girl this stollen is tradition at Xmas and Easter. The only thing I do differently, I make an almond paste role instead of a marzipan role. Quantities: 200 gr peeled (blanched) almonds and 200 grams of sugar in the food processor whilst turning add an egg. The consistency is a bit more course compared to the smoother marzipan. Marry Xmas!!!
@@annageiger7240 Hi! No... you can't ersetzen butter with cottage cheese (Quark). In Quarkstollen you have cottage cheese and butter.... And it's made with backing powder and not with yeast...
Thank you for this recipe, steps and tips! I made it for 31th dinner and its delicio!!!! I have seen stollen on stores in my country but never try it before.
It's funny all my "food youtubers" are doing Stollen this week xD From all German comments I've read they actually firmly wrap the stollen in aluminium and let it rest for 2 weeks before cutting into it, that way the dough have time to dry a little bit and completely develop it's taste.
Yes, baking Stollen now is just too late. Usually middle / end of November is the correct time. My uncle, a miller, had so many Stollen from the bakers that they ate it until April. I personally like almond Stollen best, but where I am from this is typically served at a funeral. My mother is still eating last year's Stollen.
I made this yesterday without the mace and it still had wonderful smell so I had to eat 2 slices after it done lol. Can't wait for Christmas 🎄 😊 Thanks for the good recipe and easy instructions.
Thank You! Great video! :-) Usually, in my region in Germany, the stollen is baked at least 1 month before Christmas. It gets even better the longer you store it (in a rather cool place)
Ngl I love Stollen but I was distracted with how cute Sally looks in her jumper and pigtails and wanting to know where she got her pinafore?dungarees?overalls? from. The perfect christmas vibe!
Oh, wow! My whole life I had no reason to bake Stollen. I do live in south Germany, which is quasi Stollen heaven. You can buy it everywhere with or without marzipan. In fact there is Stollen on my shopping list for tomorrow. But this recipe looks so delicious, I think, I should try to bake one myself this year.
As a German born OMA, this is so very close... Also, however, make sure you also poke, butter, and drench ALL sides (even undersides) with icing sugar to seal the Stollen. Then you’ll find the aged Stollen (will be so moist and perfectly preserved with RUM/Brandy soaked fruits). A plus is to wrap in paper and cling film after dredging in icing sugar, if storing for about week to 10 days before giving as gifts. As a rule, I’ve a RUM pot (Kilner type jar with airtight seal, add 1kg of mixed fruit, raisins, any colour, currants, sultanas even glacé cherries chopped to same size a fruit, mix and shake turning periodically to disperse 2-3 tsp of favourite Rum, as fruit absorbs adding a bit more, then as I use I replenish both fruit and alcohol), where I soak my dried fruit in alcohol weeks in advance, all year round... kept in cool dark place and shaken or turned every so often so, a Stollen or fruited loaf can be made anytime during the season. I make two large each year, and share with neighbours and church. They were disappointed when I didn’t one year... it’s become a tradition in my cul de sec..lol Thank you for such a great video.
I made these today..I actually made 6 small ones...took a day to proof 🤔🙄but once done...oh man, it was the bear I have ever eaten..everyone at church is getting stollen for Christmas this year..thanks XOXO
OMG! You did soooo well! All the best ingredients and techniques and - most importantly: you put all your heart into it. So nice to see you all delighted und full of energy. That’s what a stollen needs, a happy baker 😆😆😆 Best Christmas wishes from Germany!!!
I used to love stollen bread, but haven't had it since I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I hope it turns out well for you! I haven't had any luck with getting a good texture on a gluten free dough. It's either gummy or like a dry sponge and gritty.
My family loves stollen so much, and I couldn't wait to try this recipe. Obviously, I was pretty nervous about it, since it was my first time making this BUT it turned out amazing!! Thank you for the recipe!~
I adore this person a lot that I watch every video and try almost most of the recipes !!! Sally is such a wonderful person with great talent and the vibe she has.. omg !! Keeeep going !! Lots of love from India ♥️
I tried this recipe today with gluten free flour, and it came out with the strangest texture-- but because the flavors in this recipe are so ridiculously good, my crumby weird stollen still tastes amazing 😂😂 will try with reg flour tomorrow bc I need to know how good it is when it’s properly made. The flavor explosion + softness of the marzipan are everything 😭♥️
Wow, Stollen is really popular this year. Actually there are many variations of Stollen in Germany. Marzipanstollen is just one of them. But a very popular one.
Can you please give me some other variations? It's not that I don't like Marzipan. It's the fruits in this recipe I'm not too keen on. I've never heard of this dessert before but today 2 creators that I'm subbed to brought it to my attention. Sally made it but the other didn't. Now I'm really curious... 🙂
I'm not fond of candied peel, so I might add fresh lemon zest instead. It will change the taste of the stollen, but there's no reason why you shouldn't add your favourite flavours instead.
In Germany we even let them rest for like 4-6 weeks (wrapped up tightly, airtight and stored in a dark, cool place), depending on how much patience you have ;-). I made Stollen from 1kg of flour about 4 weeks ago. We cut into one after about 2 weeks of resting and the second one we'll cut into, just in time for Christmas -- and I reckon that this one will be even more delicious!!
It is better to bake it 4 to 6 weeks before Christmas like we normally do in Germany So all the flavors from rum or brandy and fruits get into the stollen. The longer it can rest the better is the taste🤤🤤 I love this video❤️
My mom made an old fashioned nut bread yesterday that is absolutely TO DIE FOR! Not sure why they refer to it as a bread, as its texture is more cake like, but it's absolutely spectacular! If I knew where to find the recipe, I would send it for you guys to try to make!
Hi! Thank you for the video! Im wondering if I could omit the eggs altogether to make a vegetarian version of this? Or should I replace it with yogurt?
I miss the little chocolate covered marzipan stollen bites. They're only doing sugar topped marzipan or apple stollen bites this year. Probably just as well, as I don't really need that extra weight :D
Sally your confident smile kicked that fear of bread in our minds far away! But...next up we want a recipe for a crumbs and doilies epic cake coz we loved the caramel loaf cake, ultimate chocolate( i tried it too it was😋) and snickers cake... and also coz i live in faraway country from UK I can only drool looking at the pictures of your epic cakes Please post a recipe of a crumbs and doilies epic cake soon! Im waiting🥳 Lotzzz love❤
Tip given to me recently by a German stollen expert. Always cut from the centre so you can push it back together to keep in the moisture, It will keep longer this way. Also, for shop-bought ones, be aware that they use cellaphane and not plastic or cling film to wrap.
Stollen is my absolute favorite Christmas treat. This recipe looks great! Thanks. I will be making this. I don't use raisins tho. I use dried cherries. I love raisins but they are dangerous for my pup. And she loves Christmas treats too! I assume your brandy was from the brandied fruit? If its out-of-the bottle Brandy, Id go with Rum every time. But if it has picked up fruit flavor, then I bet that's delicious.
It is possible, but they will be really tiny. Maybe double the recipe by 1.5 and then form 4 little Stollen without marzipan from this. Just because, if they are too small, they can get quit dry while baking. Maybe you also need to ad a higher quantity of soaked dried fruits as well (just search for a recipe without marzipan and compare the ratios). And please wrap them up after they are fully cooled and let them sit for at least 1 week before cutting into. Then they will get even better in taste. Greetings from Germany
Can we also take a minute to appreciate the 5 hours that Sally and Sam put into making this video for us!! Thank you!!
That tip about how to tell if dough is correctly proved is excellent! Thank you Sally.
OMG Babish and Jemma with the same recipe on the same day 😂
I was just watching babish’s lol

I'm from Germany and I love making Quark-Stollen. For soaking the raisins I use apple juice. Thank you so much for that video!
Ersetzt du die Butter durch Quark? Do you replace the butter by Quark? Is there an English word for Quark? I don't think so.
@@annageiger7240 Hi! No... you can't ersetzen butter with cottage cheese (Quark). In Quarkstollen you have cottage cheese and butter.... And it's made with backing powder and not with yeast...
@@filmauge16zu9 Interesting. Worth a try as well.
@@annageiger7240 ich nehme das Rezept von Nicoles Zuckerwerk. Dort ist auch keine Hefe drin. I think Quark is just Quark. ;-)
@@JayTeaFromTheVenus Ja, so ein Quark. ;) Das Rezept bei Nicole habe ich auch gesehen. Gut, zu wissen, dass das gut ist.
My dad absolutely loves Stollen. This will be a fantastic gift to surprise him with on Christmas day!
I was watching many German channels on stollen, and you were the only on who put almond paste in the center. I was very happy.
Interesting to hear 🎉
Do I like stollen? Nope
Did I immediately click on and like this video? Obviously 😂😍😍
Same 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha
Hi, i've just tried this recipe it's delicious, much better than the supermarket one.
I made it, it was delicious....yes I was up until 1am but totally worth it!! Cardamom makes all the difference. Thank you Sally, Sam and Jemma xx
Her reaction upon tasting it makes me want to try it even more😂❤️
Just when I thought Sallie could not be any more adorable, here she again more adorable than ever. So happy to see you baking again.
I love your videos ! And of course Jemma and sally are the best! Your recipes are all so delicious 😋 and amazing
Baked yesterday and love it. The marzipan is really delicious too.
That marzipan center is everything!
Thank you for this recipe, steps and tips! I made it for 31th dinner and its delicio!!!! I have seen stollen on stores in my country but never try it before.

UA-cam is getting a bit too comfortable with these double ads in one
got four times double ads in this one... what the hell
And always right when there was going to be a reveal.
What adverts? I see no adverts.
Maybe because they've banned so many channels with a lot of followers these past weeks. Missing a lot of income.
@@JoColours Why have they done that and how do you know?

So making this. It’s worth the effort 😍
I'm gonna do it again this year because it was so good.

Thanks for the video and happy Christmas! Xxx
yeah. bacardi is white rum
Can you guys make more marzipan treats, like a Danish Kringle?
Really hope that a video for the Black Forest cookies comes in the next 2 days...
I think I will try this. I was given a store bought one last year and it was just awful. However this looks amazing.
What speed do you knead with in the stand mixer?
Low for the first 5 mins then right up to high
Sally Dells Thanks. Merry Christmas.
is it possible to make 4 smaller stollens with the same recipe and without the marzipan center?
It is possible, but they will be really tiny. Maybe double the recipe by 1.5 and then form 4 little Stollen without marzipan from this. Just because, if they are too small, they can get quit dry while baking. Maybe you also need to ad a higher quantity of soaked dried fruits as well (just search for a recipe without marzipan and compare the ratios).
And please wrap them up after they are fully cooled and let them sit for at least 1 week before cutting into. Then they will get even better in taste.
