DRESDNER WEIHNACHTSSTOLLEN

Steps:

• Make a soft, pliable yeast dough from the first 6 ingredients and let stand in bowl for 10 minutes.
• Knead the lemon peel, zest, almonds, and rum into the dough.
• When all other ingredients are equally distributed, add the raisins.
• Roll into an oval and place on a greased baking sheet. Let rest for 10 to 15 minutes.
• Still on baking sheet, wrap dough well in aluminium foil and store in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight.
• Remove from refrigerator and take off foil. Sprinkle flour around the loaf to prevent the dough from spreading.
• Place loaf in a pre-heated 350-400° oven and bake 50-60 minutes, till pale gold in color. Remove from oven.
• Brush with melted butter and dust with Confectioner's sugar. Repeat until butter and sugar are used up.
• Stollen should have a thick, white layer.
