Reviews
I have been looking for the perfect stollen recipe for a long time. This is as close as I ever hope to come. She nailed the flavors -- the citrus, the raisins and currants, and the extracts. She also nailed the texture. I don't want my stollen to be like yeast bread or like cake; I think it should be like a moist biscotti, and that's exactly what this one is like. THANKS!
