Christmas Stollen is a traditional German sweet yeast bread made with rum soaked raisins, almonds and marzipan. Stollen is a yeast bread, not a cake. But it's likeness to bread and its lack of sweetness (typical of Christmas baking) make it a unique flavour perfect with a nice cup of coffee.

Chock-full of dried fruit, almonds, and spices, the German stollen is a dense bread that is traditionally oblong, symbolizing a swaddled infant. The history of stollen dates to 15th-century Dresden, where the first German Christmas market was held.
