Christstollen 

 

Stollen

 

 

It is very comforting and wonderful when you are busy baking in the kitchen, and your grown up children find out what you are actually baking. They get excited!

 Christstollen is a family favorite at Christmas time. Mom would make her Christstollen each and every year. She would wrap them up, and even add a red bow to give away her prized Christstollen.

 My mom, a few weeks before Christmas would bake her Christstollen. We could hardly wait for Christmas to get a taste! My Children also have fond memories of mom's Stollen arriving in the Christmas parcel. (Mom's bread are also on the request list..... just saying )

Today, was Stollen baking day. I do not have my mothers recipe... I found one from a bakery in Germany... So, we will see.....

As I researched a good Christstollen recipe, I had come to realize the long history of the Stollen, plus there are a few other types of Stollen as well... take my word.. or check out Google!

Well, now the time for a taste test... next week for sure on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day.. if we can hold out that long!


 See you very soon!
