Category: Pastries/ Bread/ Cake

 

 

Preparation:

Choux pastry:

  1. Put the water and butter in a pot on the hob and bring to a boil over high heat. Take the pot off the hob, add the flour and knead everything to a smooth dough using the hand mixer with dough hook. Put the pot back on the hob and heat the dough for about 1 minute, stirring constantly.

  2. Put the dough into a mixing bowl, and gradually mix in the eggs and sugar using the hand mixer with dough hook. Allow the dough to cool fully.

 

Batter:


  1. Melt the butter in a pot on the hob with the special “melt” function.

  2. Pour the butter in a mixing bowl, add the sugar and vanilla sugar and beat everything with the hand mixer until frothy.

  3. Add the spices, egg, egg yolk, baking powder and flour, and mix everything to a smooth batter.

Stollen:

 

  1. Preheat the oven with the hot air function at 160°C.

  2. Sprinkle flour on the worktop. Add the currants, raisins, candied lemon peel, almonds, batter and choux pastry and knead everything to a smooth dough.

  3. Cover the baking sheet with aluminium foil, form the dough into a stollen and put it on the sheet. Brush the stollen with egg white and fold up the aluminium foil over it.

  4. Put the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the stollen for 60–75 minutes. After about 45 minutes of baking time, open the aluminium foil and press it down onto the baking sheet.

After baking:

  1. Melt the butter in a pot on the hob with the special “melt” function. After baking, brush the stollen with the melted butter and sprinkle it with icing sugar.
