STOLLEN
German stollen is dense bread that is traditionally oblong, like a swaddled baby. In this version, from Martha's mother, the dough is braided, letting icing pool in the loaf's crevices.

Steps:
- Whisk together flour, granulated sugar, salt, mace, and nutmeg in a large bowl. Stir in milk and melted butter. Add dissolved yeast and the eggs. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead until smooth.
- Drain raisins and currants. Add raisins, currants, almonds, citron, orange peel, apricots, and lemon zest to dough, and continue kneading until incorporated, about 10 minutes. If dough is sticky, knead in more flour.
- Transfer dough to a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with plastic, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, 1 to 2 hours. Punch down dough, divide into 6 even pieces, and roll each piece into a 15-inch-long log. Braid 3 logs together, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining 3 logs. Cover with plastic, and let rise until doubled in volume, about 2 hours more.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake stollen until golden brown, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack. Beat together confectioners' sugar and milk. Drizzle stollen with icing just before serving.
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.

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.

CHOCOLATE CHIP STOLLEN
A "Stollen" is a German Christmas specialty, sort of a cross between cake and bread. You are supposed to make it about 2 weeks ahead of time, wrap in aluminum foil and let the aroma develop. There are many different versions of stollen. This one is a variation because my family hates the dried fruits which usually are included in such recipes. The preparation time includes the rising times. I recommend you stick around and play some board games with the family. It helps shorten the wait and is a good way to get in some family time. This makes 2 Stollen and is about 30 servings

Steps:
- Put 1 kg flour in a very large bowl, make a crater, add about a tablespoon of sugar and the yeast into the crater and stir in the milk to make a creamy starter dough (You won't stir in all the flour, just some of it to make a thick "sauce". Cover and keep warm for 20 minutes.
- Mix the rest of the sugar with the eggs, the vanilla bean, the lemon zest and the salt until creamy. Combine with the starter mixture. Cover and let rise in a warm area for about 40 minutes.
- Knead the 400 g of butter and the other 200 grams of flour with the spices. Combine with the risen dough, kneading thoroughly. Let rise for another 30 minutes.
- Knead in the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate. Let rise about another 30 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 2 parts and form a long log out of each. Roll this a little flat, so that it is about a an inch and a half or two inches thick, making a long rectangle. Fold a third of the long side towards the middle. Repeat with the other part of dough.
- Place on a baking sheet covered with parchement. You will need to separate the loaves. Do this by rolling up baking parchement loosely and covering it with aluminum foil, placing it between the two loaves. I recommend doing this to the outside of the loaves, two, otherwise the loaves will spread and not rise properly. You could also use a special form, but these are hard to get. Let rise for another 20 minutes. The Stollen should double in size.
- Bake at 200° C for 1 hour to 1 hour and 20 minutes.
- While the stollen is still warm, melt the 150 g of butter. Spoon over one stollen and sift the powdered sugar over it, covering it completely. Repeat with the other one. Wrap tightly in aluminum foil and store for two weeks before eating, so that the flavor develops. (You can eat it right away, if you'd like).
