Stollen spice ingredients
Start by making sure all the ingredients are room temperature.
First, you’ll need to make your starter dough. Mix 75g flour, all the yeast, 3g sugar and 50ml milk together, then allow to rest for 20-30minutes.
In a separate bowl, create your main dough. Mix the Lurpak® Slightly Salted butter, marzipan, salt, the ground stollen spices and the remaining sugar for about two minutes.
Then combine both the doughs together, and mix along with the remaining flour and milk. At this point, be careful not to over mix the dough (no longer than three minutes at high speed). The dough should be a bit soft if you’re going to bake it in cake tin – if you’re baking it without a tin it needs to be a bit harder. Let the dough rest again for 35 minutes.
Next, add the fruits, raisins and almonds and mix for one minute. If you’re using a cake tin, just roll the dough and then place it in the tin. If not using a tin, roll it flat like a pizza and then roll it up. Then bake the dough at 200 degrees celsius for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown.
Once it’s baked, cover the cake with melted Lurpak® Slightly Salted butter. Wait ten minutes and then cover the cake with the butter again. Then sprinkle generously with some sifted icing sugar.
Leave the cake to cool and sprinkle with one more coating of icing sugar before serving.
