food-and-drinkcultural

Taste Germany's traditional Christmas bread, dense with dried fruits, nuts, and marzipan, then dusted with powdered sugar to resemble snow-covered roofs. This centuries-old Dresden specialty requires weeks of aging to develop its complex flavors, and authentic Stollen must meet strict regional standards. Best enjoyed with mulled wine at Christmas markets throughout Germany.

“I got to sample the Zutaten (“very fine ingredients”), and found the rum-soaked raisins irresistible. [...] He let me sample the dough (which he bakes at 356 degrees Fahrenheit for 40-50 minutes). The raw form had an orange-like taste, reminding me of the orange sweet rolls mother used to bake for the family on Saturday nights. [...] I had never tasted stollen before, and I wasn’t let down by the incredible fruity, sweet taste of the semi-soft bread that’ll get even the Scrooge-iest of people into the Christmas spirit!”
