No-Yeast Stollen image

Submitted for Zaar World Tour '06. My recipe card says I got this from Family Circle Magazine in December 1986!

I didn't have any candied orange peel, so I used candied lemon peel instead. It turned out great!

This stollen was a bit dry. I think I'll add more butter next time.

I found this recipe to be a bit too complicated. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This stollen was a little too sweet for my taste, but it was still good.

I made this stollen for my German friend, and she said it was the best she's ever had! She said it tasted just like the stollen she grew up with in Germany.
