- 100 grams Strong flour
- 9 grams Dried yeast
- 100 grams Milk
- 200 grams Strong flour
- 55 grams Sugar
- 5 grams Salt
- 15 grams Egg yolk
- 20 grams Milk
- 90 grams Unsalted butter
- 25 grams Dried figs
- 120 grams Raisins
- 50 ml Rum
- 50 grams Candied orange peel
- 40 grams Candied lemon peel
- 30 grams Walnuts
- 10 grams Sliced almonds
- 1 Unsalted butter (melted)
- 1 Granulated sugar
- 1 Powdered sugar
Method
- Cut the dried figs into quarters and soak in rum with the raisins for more than 1 month.
- Make the sponge dough.
- Combine the ingredients for the sponge dough in a bowl and knead together well with a spatula.
- When they are well mixed, cover with cling film and leave to rise for about 1 hour.
- Prepare the dried fruits.
- I used the candied orange peel and lemon peel in this photo.
- These were already soaked in liqueur, so I used them as they were.
- Roughly chop the walnuts.
- This is what the sponge dough looks like when it is rising.
- Make the main dough.
- Put the softened butter in a bowl and beat with a whisk.
- Add sugar in 2 batches, add salt and mix really well.
- Add egg yolks and milk and mix.
- Add the strong flour and mix lightly with a spatula.
- Add the sponge dough, tearing it into little pieces, and mix.
- Add the dried fruits and nuts to the dough from Step 6.
- Mix until they blend into the dough.
- When they are evenly incorporated, shape the dough into a ball.
- Then divide in half.
- Roll the dough out on a floured board.
- Pick out the raisins that are sticking out from the surface.
- (Raisins on the surface burn when baking.)
- Flip over onto the side you picked out the raisins and fold over both edges.
- Then pick up one unfolded end and fold on top of the other end to shape it into a stollen.
- Before you fold to shape, put the raisins you picked out earlier inside.
- Transfer to a baking tray and leave to rise for about 40 minutes.
- Bake in an oven preheated to 350F/180C for about 45 minutes.
- It burns easily, so cover with aluminum foil before this happens.
- When it's baked, brush plenty of melted butter on the surface and sprinkle granulated sugar.
- Sprinkle powdered sugar using a tea strainer to finish.
- Wrap tightly with cling film.
