Dresden stollen, a longtime family tradition. It's like a rustic, gourmet, sweet fruit bread, and it takes all day to make. I have made it with my mother for at least 30 years. I started helping in my teens when I was a competitive swimmer and had the arm strength to knead the bread. The candied fruit is going to soak in brandy overnight., and tomorrow I will make the stollen. Wonderful recipe, makes four large loaves.
I like that you mention the arm strength needed! What a wonderful tradition, love that you continue to carry it on even though it seems to take a lot of strength and time.
