This is a recipe for Stollen, a traditional German baked good perfect for Christmas. The dough is kneaded thoroughly, then mixed with dried fruit, nuts, and almond powder before shaping. After two fermentation periods, it is baked in the oven, and while still hot, it is generously soaked in rum and melted butter, and finished with powdered sugar. It is characterized by its moist texture and rich flavor, and can be enjoyed by slicing it little by little as Christmas approaches.
