Stollen - German Christmas cake - Njemacki bozicni kolac

Scroll down for English.

Jos jedan u nizu recepata koji sa coolinarike prenosim na blog. Ovaj njemacki bozicni kolac je meni toliko omiljen, da ga obavezno pravim tokom decembra, volim ga podjednako, bez ozbira dali stavljam u njega marcipan ili ne. Stollen je jedna od onih slastica ili ga volis ili ne volis.....

Potrebni sastojci:

1200 gr brasna
150 gr secera
1/4 kasikice soli
3 kasikice suhog kvasca
1/2 l mlijeka
350 gr putera
3 jaja ( ja koristim 3 zumanca I samo jedno bjelance)
600 gr usecerenog voca po izboru
naerendana korica narance I limuna
150 grama oguljenih badema
flavori vanile, badema I maraskino
200 gr marcipana - opcina po zelji

Za premaz:

100 gr putera
100 gr secera u prahu

Izrada:

Izmiksati puter I jaja a potom utrljati brasno u koje smo dodali suhi kvasac. U toplo mlijeko dodati vanilu, maraskino I ukus badema I napraviti glatko tijesto. Ostaviti na toplom dok udvostruci obujam.

Kad je tijesto naraslo dodati u njega sve ostale sastojke. Napraviti dvije struce I staviti u pleh za hljeb da jos jednom nadodje.

Peci u zagrijanoj rerni 350 nekih petnaest  minuta, a potom smanjiti temperature na 320 F I peci jos nekih pola sata, ili dok cackalica ne izadje suha iz stolen.

Obilato namazati puterom I obilato posuti secerom u prahu. Stolen moze da stoji dugo, iako ja svoj cuvam u zamrzivacu I vadim po potrebi.

Prijatno!

This is one of my favorite festive cakes. It is very well known as Stollen and it is basically cake that is made in Germany before Christmas. It can last very long (if you can stay away from it) and it is one of those cakes that you are crazy about it or you do not like it at all. Those candied fruit is actually what is givit to it that specific taste and flavor.

Marcipan pravim po ovom receptu, nisam ga jos prenijela na blog, nadam se u skoroj buducnosti... najbolji marcipan koji sam ikad napravila...
