Paul Parker’s Stollen
Paul Parker
Chez Sophie Bistro

6 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground mace
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
20 ounces assorted dried and/or candied fruit
6 ounces blanched almonds, coarsely chopped
zest of 2 lemons
zest of 1 orange and ½ cup juice of one orange
¼ cup brandy or rum
1 yeast cake
1 cup warm milk (103 degrees F.)
1 teaspoon sugar
4 ounces melted butter
3 eggs

Sift together flour, salt, sugar, mace and nutmeg.

Combine dried and/or candied fruit (Paul loves to concentrate on two or three candied or dried fruits rather than use a mix of everything), almonds, lemon and orange zest, orange juice, and rum; toss together and allow to macerate.

Dissolve yeast cake in warm milk with sugar and melted butter. Lightly beat the eggs.

In a strong mixer with a dough hook (or in a large bowl by hand), mix the flour mixture together and slowly add the milk. After the milk has been absorbed, add the eggs. After the eggs have been absorbed, add the fruits and their liquid. Continue kneading. Dough should be soft but not sticky. Knead until dough is stretchy, pounding on table several times. Make noise.

Set dough to rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, 1 to 3 hours depending on the room. Punch down and form into 1 or 2 flat ovals. Fold not quite in half lengthwise. Place on buttered baking sheet and allow dough to rise for at least another 15 minutes. Bake in preheated 350-degree oven for 35 to 45 minutes or until golden brown and hollow sounding. Allow bread to cool, brush with melted butter and sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar. This bread is better after one or two days. Yields 1 or 2 loaves of bread.
