I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have a stand mixer. Is there a way to make it without one?

I'm not a big fan of dried fruit, so I was hesitant to try this recipe. But I'm glad I did! The Stollen was still delicious, even without the dried fruit.

The marzipan filling was a bit too sweet for me. I would probably reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This Stollen was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would prefer a lighter, fluffier texture.

Followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great! The only thing I would change is to add a little more marzipan.
