We always knew it was Christmas when my mother-in-law sent us a German stollen. Now, our grown children continue to have stollen for the holidays. My daughter-in-law shared this recipe that doesn't use yeast. —Marge Mueller, Mariposa, California

Ingredients

2 tablespoons chopped candied orange peel
2 tablespoons chopped candied lemon peel
4 teaspoons water
1 teaspoon rum extract
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup ground almonds
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground mace
1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
5 tablespoons cold butter, divided
1 cup 4% cottage cheese
2 large eggs, room temperature, beaten
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/2 cup dried currants
2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar

Directions

In a small bowl, combine the candied peel, water and extracts; set aside. In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, almonds, baking powder, salt, mace and cardamom. Cut in 4 tablespoons butter until mixture resembles fine crumbs.
Stir in the cottage cheese, eggs, raisins, currants and candied peel mixture; form into a ball. Turn onto a floured surface; knead 5 times. Roll dough into a 10x8-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. Melt remaining butter; brush over dough. Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack. Dust with confectioners' sugar.
