About Dresdner Christstollen
Sachsen Tourism presents this home recipe within its account of traditional Dresdner Christstollen. The Christmas fruit bread combines a wheat and fresh-yeast dough with rum-soaked sultanas, almonds and candied citrus peel.
Butter and clarified butter enrich the dough, while lemon zest, vanilla and an unspecified spice mixture provide its aromatics. Sweet and bitter almonds are separately listed ingredients in this rendition.
The dough becomes a long loaf with a lengthwise cut. After baking, its surface receives melted butter, granulated sugar and a final dusting of powdered sugar, creating the bread's characteristic pale covering.
