……….The photos, left to right, show the raw braided Stollen after its’ final rise and ready for the oven…..You can tell the size of it from the cookie sheet in sits upon…….The middle photo is the Stollen right out of the oven given a generous wash of melted butter……The photo at the right is about 15 to 20 mins later, after the bread has cooled. It is then sprinkled with powder sugar…………or as Jac used to say…..”SNOW ON THE MOUNTAIN”…….I had a generous piece for breakfast and it was wonderful……I didn’t over do it because a little voice was in my ear telling me to “TAKE YOUR SELF IN HAND!”….I could have easily been naughty…but I was good……….Merry Christmas everyone.
