Today I show a traditional christmas recipe from my home country Germany. It is called »Christstollen«. It's a yeast dough with prickled fruits, almonds and candied peel. The preparation is easy. You can also use dried yeast. With dried yeast you don't need a yeast sponge. Just put all ingredients into the pot at once. Anyhow you should store the stollen for at least 2 weeks in a cool and dry place before you serve it. It pays! ;)
I hope you like my new video. Thanks for watching!
