When the shaped Stollen rises before baking I do notice that the bump can disappear 🧐 is it cheating to use the wooden spoon then? 😅 Recipe: Christmas Stollen. I think the secret is to use homemade candied citrus, and hazelnuts. Recipe: Knead 500g all purpose flour 250g room temp butter 175g milk 50g sugar 2 yolks 1/2 tsp cinnamon 1 pinch of cardamom 1.5
