Christmas Stollen Recipe

Recipe Ingredients:

Ingredients:
1/2 cup Raisins, dark or golden
1/4 cup Dried Apricots, chopped
1/4 cup Unsweetened Apple Juice
-=OR=-
1/4 cup Rum
1 package (or 1 tb) Active Dry Yeast
1/3 cup Milk, heated to lukewarm
-(105 to 110 degrees)
1/2 cup Flour
1/2 cup Margarine
2 tbsp Sugar
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Almond Extract
1 tsp Lemon Rind, grated
1 cup To 1-1/2 cup Flour
1/2 cup Sliced Blanched Almonds
1/2 cup Low-Sugar Apricot Preserves

Recipe Instructions:

Directions:

Combine the raisins, apricots and apple juice (or rum) in a bowl.
Let soak overnight or for at least 4 hours. Combine the yeast, milk
and the 1/2 cup of flour in a bowl. Mix until smooth and the mixture
looks like think mashed potatoes. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth
and let rise in a warm place for 10 minutes, or until doubled in bulk.

Meanwhile, cream the margarine, sugar, salt, almond extract and lemon
rind. Beat in the yeast mixture and 1-1/4 cups of the flour. Turn
the dough out onto a lightly-floured surface and knead in about 1/4
cup more flour, or until the dough is soft. Knead for 3 minutes.
Put in a greased bowl, cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm
place until doubled, about 1-1/2 to 2 hours.

Once the dough has doubled, knead in the raisin mixture and almonds.
Knead until well mixed. Roll the dough into a rectangular 12- by
6-inch shape. Roll up jelly roll fashion. Place on a lightly-oiled
baking sheet and let rise about 30 minutes. Bake in a 375-degree
oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

Cool partially on a wire rack. Glaze the cool but not cold stollen
with the apricot preserves. Serves 15

"Enchant, stay beautiful and graceful, but do this, eat well. Bring the same consideration to the preparation of your food as you devote to your appearance. Let your dinner be a poem, like your dress."
