Poppyseed Stollen

Ingredients

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet active dry yeast (2 ¼ teaspoons)
  • ½ cup milk, warmed
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ cup butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup poppy seeds
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, combine the warmed milk and a tablespoon of sugar. Stir in the yeast and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, remaining sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Create a well in the center and add the softened butter, eggs, and the yeast mixture.
  3. Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth dough, about 7-10 minutes. If the dough feels too sticky, gradually add more flour.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a cloth, and let it rise in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
  5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down and knead in the poppy seeds, raisins, and nuts (if using).
  6. Shape the dough into a loaf and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Cover it and let it rest for another 30 minutes.
  7. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the stollen for about 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped.
  8. Let it cool completely on a wire rack. Finally, dust it with powdered sugar before slicing.

This Poppyseed Stollen is a true labor of love! Each bite is filled with flavor and brings a little slice of joy. So, gather your ingredients and get to baking. You won’t regret it!
