This weekend, we made the German bread called stollen. It's been a part of my family tradition for years, and I start to buy the fruit mix and the pecans right after Halloween so we can be ready for our 'trial' batch of the tasty sweet bread. After the initial loaves are baked, we taste-test them to ensure high quality, good taste, and light texture. Having a new oven has certainly helped this year, and the first two loaves turned out beautifully.
My favorite part is making the white icing after the bread has cooled. I decorated the top of the bread with cherries and made tiny holly leaves and berries out of the candied fruit. The first batch has passed inspection!
