For those of you Stollen bakers, I have adapted the Quick Brioche recipe, posted at the link below, to make Stollen in the bread machine. It worked out very nicely. You will need to experiment with the crust setting and bread type setting on your machines, but this basic dough is nicely adapted to bread machines. I used the regular dough cycle with medium crust. Next time I will try the sweet bread cycle.

Stollen Dough for the Bread Machine

AngAk

1/2 cup warm milk

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

3 tablespoons sugar

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla

1 tsp grated lemon rind(add with liquids)

3 1/4 - 4 cups all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp ground cardamom

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 envelope active dry yeast -- (2 teaspoons)

1/2 cup golden raisins

1/2 cup dark raisins

1/2 cup candied fruit, chopped

I soak my fruit overnight in rum

1/2 cup slivered or sliced almonds

Put ingredients in order listed for your machine. My machine puts wet ingredients first, then the dry ingredients(start with 3 1/4 cups flour and add more if needed) and last the yeast. I had to watch the dough "mix" cycle and added a bit of flour as needed so it wouldn't stick to the sides. Fruit/nuts were added in when the machine beeped for the "add ingredients" cycle.

This really made a very tasty, dense loaf. Not the traditional shape, but tasty and easy with the bread machine.

Ang, Can this be baked in the oven, after the dough cycle is finished? If so (m)

at what temp. would it be baked and for how long? TIA

 
I would imagine it would bake like a normal Stollen recipe. I'll have to look mine up.

I was just experimenting with my breadmaker. I think the traditional baking is kind of long and slow, like in a 350 oven for about an hour, but I would have to check. This dough would make one medium to large Stollen in the oven.

 
I just made stollen but your recipe looks better than mine.

I don't have a bread machine but I think it will work fine to make this stollen the "old" way.

Thanks for sharing!!

 
Eva, you may want to add more fruit/nut if you make it the "old" way.

My bread machine wouldn't take the full amount of fruit/nuts that a Stollen usually calls for, so if it looks kind of light on the fruit, just add some more. It should make a beautiful loaf.
