Ciao! Ho molte famiglie tedesche, ma sono anche molto americano e recentemente ho cercato di imparare a cucinare più cibi tedeschi. Con le vacanze alle porte ho pensato di fare un altro giro a Stollen, (provato l’anno scorso con buoni risultati) e penso di aver fatto abbastanza bene! Ma sfortunatamente non sono ancora stata in Germania, soprattutto durante le vacanze, quindi speravo di ottenere qualche recensione onesta per vedere se sembra davvero autentico (e magari qualche altra idea per una ricetta).
(Ho messo solo la foto della fetta perché pensavo di farlo solo dopo averla tagliata, perdonatemi)

The stollen looks a bit too dense. It probably would have benefited from a slightly longer rising time. This is important so that it has the right consistency when chewed. Otherwise, it looks good. To my taste, there’s a little less marzipan, but I think that’s the best part of stollen, and you can never have too much of that.
I would inhale that in 0,34 seconds.
Don’t be so cheap with the marzipan, but looks nice otherwise
I never understood why people like it.
Don‘t by cheap ones and buy in backaries only at least €1.40 per 100gramm
Looks overall not bad, how is it in your opinion? But, well, to be honest… it does like pretty small. While stollen is dense, I still think this one could’ve used more rising time, maybe more yeast, or less kneading? I don’t know, I don’t always get yeast done right myself. Typically you also age it at least a week or so.
I think you did well! I’m assuming you made your Stollen with a yeast based dough..? My granma makes hers with a Quark-oil base & baking powder instead. I don’t know how common this is but it’s her (at least, maybe even further back) great-grandmother’s recipe, so it’s not a modern unholy abomination either 🙂 i like this Stollen more than yeast ones, but i might be biased because this is what i’m used to. Since you mentioned other recipe ideas, i could share hers or do you mean recipe ideas other than Stollen, like Plätzchen etc?
Any bread can be “stollen” …if you leave the store without paying for it
