This recipe looks more daunting than it actually is. You basically make a bread dough with a bit of butter and egg in it, knead it for a while, the leave it alone to do its thing.

Yield Makes one large stollen / 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

For bread dough:
100g butter
500g plain all-purpose flour
40g fresh yeast (or 7g active-dry)
225ml warm milk
30g sugar
1 tsp salt
1 egg
For filling:
125g golden raisins
125g candied citrus peel
1 medium-sized orange
4 Tbsp rum or brandy
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 green cardamom pods
2 tsp poppy seeds
1 tsp ground cinnamon
50 g blanched, sliced almonds
200g marzipan
A little beaten egg
For glaze:
50g butter
Powdered sugar
Special Equipment
You will also need a large baking sheet, lined with baking parchment.

Steps:

  • Make filling:
  • Put the sultanas into a mixing bowl. Chop the candied citrus peel into small dice and add to the sultanas. Finely grate the zest from the orange and add to the bowl. Squeeze in the juice of the orange, pour in the rum or brandy and vanilla, then toss together and leave for an hour.
  • Make dough:
  • Melt the butter in a small pan, then leave to cool down. Put the flour into a large mixing bowl. No need to sieve it. If using fresh yeast, warm the milk to body temperature (it should feel comfortable rather than cold or scalding when you insert your finger), then crumble in the yeast and stir to dissolve. Add the sugar and salt to the flour and mix well. Beat the egg. Stir in the egg and the warm milk and butter. (If you are using dried yeast, add the yeast straight to the flour, then stir in the other ingredients followed by the warm milk, egg and butter.)
  • Mix thoroughly-the dough should be soft, shiny and rather sticky. In all honesty it may be very sticky. Turn out on to a generously floured board and knead for a good eight minutes. As you knead, the dough will become less and less sticky and more like a bread dough-though it will be heavier because of the butter and egg. When the dough is soft, elastic and no longer sticking to the board, scoop it up and put it into a floured bowl. Set aside, covered with a clean tea towel, somewhere warm and draught-free for a good hour or until it is well risen. (It won't be quite twice the size of the original dough but well on the way.) Alternatively, mix and knead using a food mixer fitted with a dough hook until the dough comes cleanly away from the sides of the bowl.
  • Assemble:
  • Break the cardamom pods open and remove their seeds. Crush the seeds to a coarse powder using a pestle and mortar or a spice mill, then mix in a small bowl with the poppy seeds, cinnamon and almonds. Dust the work surface in the flour and tip your risen dough onto it. Knead the spice and seed mixture and the soaked fruits, leaving behind most of the liquid, into the dough.
  • Roll into a long loaf about 22cmx16cm and flatten it slightly: Roll the marzipan into a cylinder nearly the length of the dough, then place it in the centre. Brush the edges with a little beaten egg and press together. Turn the dough over and place it on a lined baking sheet, cover with a towel and return it to a warm place to prove for a further hour and a half.
  • Heat the oven to 350°F/180°C/Gas 4. Place the loaf in the hot oven and bake for about thirty-five to forty minutes, until pale gold. Melt the butter for the glaze and brush over the loaf. Cool on a wire rack, then dust generously with icing sugar.
  • To Keep
  • When the loaf is thoroughly cool, wrap loosely in waxed paper or clingfilm and keep in a cookie tin.

GERMAN POPPY SEED STOLLEN (MOHNSTOLLEN)



German Poppy Seed Stollen (Mohnstollen) image

This wonderful poppy seed stollen recipe is straight from Germany. It tastes best if you can freshly grind your poppy seeds. In Germany there are special poppy seed grinders, but you can use a mortar and pestle. Don't use a regular spice grinder, as poppy seeds contain a lot of oil and your grinder will get clogged up.

Orange-and-Poppy-Seed Sheet Cake image

Full of citrus flavor, this recipe includes orange zest, sour cream, poppy seeds, and vanilla paste in the batter and orange juice in the luscious, easy icing. To serve, shower with more poppy seeds and get creative when cutting: Small and large planks, slices on the bias, and even triangles are fair game when it comes to a sheet cake.

Add flour mixture; beat to combine. Add butter, zest, poppy seeds, and vanilla; beat to combine. Add sour cream; beat until smooth.

1/2 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs, at room temperature
2 cups milk, at room temperature
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for greasing
1 tablespoon poppy seeds
1 orange, zested and sectioned
Vanilla Butter, recipe follows

Steps:

  • Whisk together the flour and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl beat together the eggs, milk and butter.

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the batter to rest for 1 hour at room temperature.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Peel and section the orange. Reserve pieces of orange - make sure there are no seeds. Grease a large muffin tin. Place the tin in the oven to heat up for at least 10 minutes. Once heated place one piece of orange on the bottom of each cup. Give the batter a quick stir and pour into each cup filling them halfway leaving room for them to rise.

Yield Makes 12 scones

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup sugar
3 tablespoons poppy seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons cream of tartar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) chilled unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
2 teaspoons grated orange peel
1 large egg
2 tablespoons orange juice

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly flour heavy large baking sheet. Mix 2 1/2 cups flour, sugar, poppy seeds, cream of tartar, baking soda and salt in large bowl. Add butter and rub in with fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Mix in 2 teaspoons grated orange peel. Whisk egg and 2 tablespoons orange juice in medium bowl to blend. Add to flour mixture; stir just until blended.
  • Turn dough out onto lightly floured surface; knead gently until smooth. Divide dough in half. Pat each half into 3/4-inch-thick round. Cut each round into 6 wedges.
  • Arrange wedges on prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges for the best flavor. The zest and juice add a bright citrus flavor to the stollen.
  • Be sure to soak the poppy seeds in milk before adding them to the dough. This will help them to soften and plump up.
  • Knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic. This will help to develop the gluten in the dough and make it more chewy.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will help to create a light and airy stollen.
  • Bake the stollen in a preheated oven until it is golden brown. The stollen is done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Glaze the stollen with powdered sugar icing after it has cooled. This will give it a shiny and festive appearance.

Conclusion:

Orange and poppy seed stollen is a delicious and festive bread that is perfect for the holiday season. It is easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. This recipe is a great way to use up leftover oranges and poppy seeds, and it is sure to be a hit at your next holiday gathering.
