Christmas stollen is a rich German yeast bread traditionally made with dried fruit, candied citrus peel, nuts, and warming spices, sometimes with a marzipan center. It is buttery and mildly sweet, with a tender, dense crumb and chewy bursts of fruit, usually finished with powdered sugar. Around the world, it is enjoyed sliced with coffee or tea and can also be toasted or used in desserts such as bread pudding. A festive staple for centuries, stollen is especially associated with Christmas and the city of Dresden.
