Fruit And Nut Stollen Recipe

Fruit and Nut Stollen

From larkspur 15 years ago

This is my family's traditional stollen recipe; we make it every Christmas. It is delicious, and even won a prize in a Taste of Home recipe contest!

In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups flour, sugar, yeast, cardamom and salt.
In a small saucepan, heat milk and ½ cup butter to 120-130 degrees.
Add to dry ingredients; beat just until moistened.
Add egg, beat until smooth.
Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes.
Place in a bowl coated with nonstick cooking spray, turning once to coat top.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.
In a small bowl, combine fruits, nuts, and extract, set aside.
Punch dough down.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead fruit mixture into dough. Divide into thirds.
Roll each portion into a 10-in x 8-in oval.
Melt remaining butter, brush over dough.
Fold a long side over to within 1-in. of opposite side; press edges lightly to seal.
Place on baking sheets coated with nonstick cooking spray.
Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Bake at 375 degrees for 14-16 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove loaves to wire racks.
Combine glaze ingredients; drizzle glaze over loaves.
