A Daring Bakers Christmas: Christmas Stollen

The Daring Bakers December Challenge was Christmas Stollen!! I made one following half of the recipe, unbleached flour, and substituted apple sauce for the eggs!! The Stollen turned out delicious and the recipe is a keeper!!
Post Script: The 2010 December Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Penny of Sweet Sadie’s Baking. She chose to challenge Daring Bakers’ to make Stollen. She adapted a friend’s family recipe and combined it with information from friends, techniques from Peter Reinhart’s book.........and Martha Stewart’s demonstration.
