Steps:
- In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm milk. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the yeast mixture with the egg, white sugar, salt, butter, and 2 cups bread flour; beat well. Add the remaining flour, 1/4 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When the dough has begun to pull together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead in the currants, raisins, dried cherries, and citrus peel. Continue kneading until smooth, about 8 minutes.
- Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in the bowl, and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Lightly grease a cookie sheet. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Roll the marzipan into a rope and place it in the center of the dough. Fold the dough over to cover it; pinch the seams together to seal. Place the loaf, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise until doubled in volume, about 40 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then reduce heat to 300 degrees F (150 degrees C), and bake for a further 30 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown. Allow loaf to cool on a wire rack. Dust the cooled loaf with confectioners' sugar, and sprinkle with the cinnamon.

Steps:
- The night before baking, mix raisins, cherries and rum in a small container. Mix almonds with 1/4 cup water in another container. Cover both and let sit overnight at room temperature.
- The next day, in an electric mixer with paddle, set on low speed, mix yeast with milk until dissolved. Add 1 cup flour and mix until a soft, sticky dough forms, about 2 minutes. This is the "starter." Transfer starter to a lightly greased bowl, cover with greased plastic, and let rest for 40 minutes at room temperature.
- In an electric mixer with paddle and set on low speed, mix remaining 3 cups of flour, 3 tablespoons of sugar, 1/2 teaspoon ginger, salt, cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, lemon zest and vanilla seeds. With motor running, pour in 1 cup melted butter. Mix on slow for 1 minute, then add egg yolk. Mix until liquid is absorbed, about 1 minute more.
- Divide starter dough into 3 pieces. Add starter to mixture in bowl, 1 piece at a time, mixing on slow until each addition is thoroughly combined, 2 to 3 minutes after each addition. After starter is absorbed, mix dough on a medium speed until glossy, 4 to 5 minutes.
- Add almonds, candied ginger and citrus peel if using, and mix on slow until combined, 2 to 3 minutes. Add raisins, cherries, and rum and mix on slow until combined, 2 to 3 minutes more.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until fruit and nuts are inside dough rather than stuck on surface, and dough is smooth and glossy, about 5 minutes. Place dough in a medium bowl and cover with plastic. Rest for 1 hour to let rise slightly. Then knead it once or twice, cover with plastic and let rest for another hour.
- Divide into 2 equal pieces and shape each into an oval loaf about 8 inches long. Stack 2 rimmed baking sheets on top of each other, lining top pan with parchment. Place loaves on doubled pans and cover with plastic. Allow loaves to rest 1 more hour at room temperature.
- About 20 minutes before this rise is completed, preheat oven to 350 degrees. Remove plastic covering loaves and bake for about 1 hour. Loaves should look uniformly dark golden brown and internal temperature taken from middle of each loaf should be 190 degrees.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the remaining 3/4 cup sugar and 2 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger. When stollen is done, transfer top pan holding loaves to a wire rack (leave stollen on pan). While still hot, brush stollen with remaining 1 cup of melted butter, letting butter soak into loaves. Sprinkle ginger sugar on tops and sides of loaves. When loaves are completely cool, cover loosely with waxed or parchment paper or foil and let sit at room temperature for 8 hours or overnight.
- The next day, sift 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar over loaves, rolling to coat bottom and sides evenly with sugar. Wrap each loaf in plastic and let sit at room temperature for at least 2 days before sifting remaining 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar over loaves and serving.

AMIS'S CHRISTMAS STOLLEN
Pronounced shtoh-luhn, stollen is a wonderful traditional Christmas bread from Germany. The traditional shape is that of a large, folded oval. Every year my grandmother would make this for Christmas and we would have it for a light breakfast on Christmas morning to tide us over until the feasting started. In my family it's just not Christmas without the smell of stollen baking throughout the house. And I love making this and presenting it as gifts as well. My grandmother originally got this from the 1963 Better Homes and Gardens Bread Cook Book. Last year she passed the tradition down to me (in other words, if I didn't make it it's not getting done :D) and I added some spices as well as some dates and figs. This can be a bit involved since the total time for rising is 2 hours 40 minutes but it's definitely worth it. Note: this does call for almonds. Zaar World Tour 05

Steps:
- Stollen:.
- Combine the yeast with warm water (110 F). Note: If you're using compressed yeast, the water needs to be at 85°F.
- Combine the milk, butter, sugar, salt and cardamom; cool to lukewarm.
- Stir in 2 c of flour; beat well. Add the softened yeast and egg; beat well.
- Stir in the fruits, peels and nuts.
- Add enough of the remaining flour to make a soft dough.
- Turn out on a slightly floured surface. Knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
- Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the entire surface of the the dough.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 1/2 hours, or until double.
- Punch down; turn out on a lightly floured surface.
- Divide into 3 equal parts.
- Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Roll each of the 3 sections into a 10 x 16 inch rectangle.
- Without stretching, fold the long side over to within 1 inch of the opposite side; seal the edge (you can pinch it together, or brush with a bit of beaten egg or warm milk if you wish).
- Place on a greased baking sheet.
- Cover and let rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until almost double again.
- Preheat the oven to 375 and bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let cool slightly and place onto large pieces of wax paper, plastic wrap, platters, etc, each loaf on it's own separate surface.
- You don't want to get the glaze everywhere.
- Glaze:.
- Note: You can easily half the glaze. My family doubled it because of our huge sweet tooth. (It's really pretty too. It has a daisy on it. :D).
- Combine the sugar, water and the butter. Brush or pour over the stollen.
- It will be runny at first so you may have to spoon any that gooped onto your platter or counter back up onto the loaf.
- You can leave it as it is or decorate it however you wish.
- I always make pretty flowers out of bits of fruit and cherries or sliced almonds. Such as a flower made with slices of almonds for the petals, bits of candied cherries for the center and citron or green candied cherries for the leaves and stems. Very pretty.
- Let the loaves sit until the glaze has set (it will still be slightly squishy to the touch) and then wrap in plastic wrap to keep them fresh until it's time to serve them.
- That's another reason we add so much glaze since it helps keep the bread moist.
- Place the loaves in a cool dark place or they even freeze well.
- I put the serving size at 24, which would be 8 generous slices per loaf but you will probably get more out of it.
- Note: Yeast equivalents are One package = 2 1/4 teaspoons = 1/4 ounce = 1 compressed cake.

CHRISTMAS STOLLEN, MARIA'S WAY
Back in the 60's, we had a newly emigrated neighbor from Germany, who taught my DH how to make yeast bread--with THIS recipe. It has graced our Christmas morning table every year since--and 2 loaves hardly last for the next day. He usually makes them the week before and wraps in plastic wrap, puts in a plastic garbage bag, and freezes until Christmas Eve. Goes well with your favorite strata.

TRADITIONAL STOLLEN
Stollen's richness is similar to that of brioche, but dried fruit makes it sweeter and gives it a more interesting texture. Serve this rich holiday treat in thin slices as breakfast bread or with afternoon tea. Like fruitcake, stollen improves with age and can be made up to three weeks in advance.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine yeast and 1/2 cup warm water, and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, sift together dry ingredients. Stir in milk and 1 1/4 cups melted butter. Add dissolved yeast and eggs. Turn dough out onto a floured surface, and knead until fairly smooth.
- In two separate bowls, soak currants in cognac, and raisins in orange juice. Let each stand for 10 minutes.
- In a medium-size bowl, mix together currants and raisins with their soaking liquids, the orange peel, lemon zest, citron, apricots, and almonds. Work mixture into dough. Continue kneading for about 10 minutes. If dough is sticky, knead in more flour, but be careful not to overwork.
- Place dough in a large buttered bowl. Cover bowl with a kitchen towel, and let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 1 to 2 hours.
- Punch down the dough, and cut in quarters. Roll each piece into a 12-by-8-inch rectangle. Brush with melted butter, then fold one long side to the center. Fold other long side over first side, overlapping it by 1 inch. Turn dough over, taper the ends, and place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat for remaining 3 loaves, using a second parchment-lined baking sheet for the third and fourth loaves. Cover loaves with plastic wrap; let rise again in a warm place, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Heat oven to 350 degrees, with two racks centered. Bake stollen until golden brown, about 35 minutes, rotating the sheets between the racks halfway through baking. Cool on wire rack; dust with confectioners' sugar, and serve.

- Combine the raisins, golden raisins, cranberries and cherries in a small bowl. Add rum (or orange juice), cover, and set aside. Stir occasionally to make sure that the fruit is evenly coated in the rum.
- In the large bowl of a stand mixer, sprinkle the yeast in the water to soften. Warm the milk to 110 degrees F and add it to the yeast. Stir in honey and 1 cup of flour. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm spot until light and bubbly, about 30 minutes.
- In the large bowl with the sponge, add fruit mixture (with the rum), honey, egg, butter, lemon zest, salt, nutmeg, almonds, and 2 cups of flour. Using the paddle attachment, beat the mixture on medium-low speed for 2 minutes. Gradually add the remaining flour, ¼-cup at a time, until the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl and turn to coat the dough with oil. Cover with plastic wrap or a clean towel and set aside to rise in a warm spot until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours (but in some cases it may take at least 3 hours for the dough to double in bulk, so just keep an eye on it).
