This stollen was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time. Other than that, it was still a good recipe and I will definitely try it again.

This stollen was a bit dry for my taste. I think I may have overbaked it. Other than that, it was still a good recipe and I will definitely try it again.

I'm not a big fan of pineapple, but I decided to try this recipe anyway. I'm so glad I did! The pineapple filling was not overpowering at all and it added a nice sweetness to the bread. I will definitely be making this again.
