Stollen
13 Answers
Want to make Stollen and keep it for Christmas. Can I freeze it once cooked, or freeze the dough once risen, or must it be a last minute thing to make?

I know I could have bought a Christmas cake in the supermarket but prefer to make my own. Not a huge amount of effort and making a stollen isn't particularly arduous.
I'd rather encourage people to cook than send them to the shops. The ability to cook and bake are dying arts and should be encouraged in my book.

Have tried Lidl and Aldi Stollen and they are not to my taste. The M & S one is nicer, but much more expensive. I have just returned from Germany and find their stolen a little dry - a bit like panetonne. I will try using Paul Hollywood's recipe, but adding brandy and more marzipan to make it moister. I think it is much nicer making your own, although maybe not cheaper. I have only got dried yeast, so I hope that will suffice. Whatever I make will be treated with much appreciation. Will try freezing it, as suggested, so that there is no last minute Christmas rush.
