The holidays just aren’t the same without stollen. It’s been like this since I met J, many moons ago. I absolutely love stollen! J’s parents used to visit us in the UK from the Netherlands and would always bring some with them. They even include it in the food parcels they send to us at this time of the year. In 2008, our Christmas parcel went on a detour to Sydney, Australia and we didn’t get it until March... you can imagine how fresh the stuff was then, eek!!!
We’ve browsed store-bought varieties, but the ingredients make me want to hurl. Yuck! In 2009, I decided to make my own stollen for Christmas. Since I only started lindaskitchenlab in May 2010, I thought it would be better to wait closer to the holiday season to blog about it. Watch this space for Christmas 2010 whole wheat version.
