Description
A traditional German Nut Stollen (Nussstollen) filled with a sweet, nutty filling and wrapped in a soft, rich yeast dough. Perfect for holiday baking and celebrations.
Ingredients
- 500g all-purpose flour
- 1 packet (7g) dry yeast
- 250ml milk, lukewarm
- 100g sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 100g butter, softened
- 1 pinch of salt
- 250g ground hazelnuts or walnuts
- 100g powdered sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 3 tbsp milk (for filling)
- 1 egg white (optional, for filling)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix flour and yeast. Add lukewarm milk, sugar, vanilla extract, egg, butter, and salt. Knead into a smooth dough and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, prepare the filling by mixing ground nuts, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and milk. Add egg white if needed for better consistency.
- After dough has risen, roll it out into a rectangle on a floured surface.
- Spread the nut filling evenly over the dough.
- Roll up the dough from the long side, shaping it into a log or stollen form.
- Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Let rise again for 20-30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow to cool, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute hazelnuts with walnuts or almonds.
- Stollen can be wrapped and stored for a few days – flavor improves over time.
- Optional: brush with melted butter after baking and before dusting with sugar for richer flavor.
