Are you trying to find the ideal holiday treat to savour this Christmas? One of the most traditional German Christmas recipes is stollen, often known as German Christmas Bread.
This yeasty, moist bread is loaded with candied lemon and orange peels, almonds, and fruit that has been marinated in rum. Because Stollen is typically consumed at Christmas, it is also known as Christstollen.
