Paul Hollywood Stollen

This is the absolute best Christmas bake for a large gathering of family and friends to serve with coffee or even mulled wine! 

Festive Stollen

This is a very detailed recipe, not because it is difficult but because it needs care and attention. Stollen is a German bread baked at Christmas time. It has a  rich buttery crust and the marzipan in the centre is a real surprise. I suggest that you time the rising to coincide with school runs or a large basket of ironing! Two jobs at once.
