  • Prep: 25 min. Bake: 40 min. + cooling

Ingredients

  • 2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 7 tablespoons cold butter, divided

  • 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon peel
  • 1 egg

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt. Cut in 6 tablespoons butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs. In a small bowl, combine the ricotta, candied fruit, raisins, almonds, extracts, lemon peel, egg and yolk. Stir into dry ingredients just until moistened.
  • Turn onto a floured surface; knead five times. Roll dough into a 10-in. x 8-in. oval. Fold a long side over to within 1 in. of opposite side; press edge lightly to seal. Place on a greased baking sheet; curve ends slightly.

My mother used to make the yeast Stollen every year for Christmas and found this recipe last year. We compared it to the yeast type this year, and aside from the non yeast Stollen being just a little more dense, there is no difference in taste.  Yuma,AZ
