Lena from "Mein leckeres Leben" has given us the delicious recipe for her curd cheese and poppy seed stollen. Perfect for afternoon tea with family and friends:
And this is how to make the stollen
Ingredients
for 1 large stollen
350 g spelt flour
100 g raw cane sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon, ground
¼ teaspoon vanilla, ground
2 tsp cream of tartar baking powder
1 pinch of salt
200 g curd cheese (quark)
100 g soft butter
2 eggs
Filling
50 g butter
200 g poppy seeds, ground
50 g raw cane sugar
100 g almonds, ground
150 g prunes, finely chopped
1 tsp cinnamon, ground
½ organic orange, zest
1 tbsp rum
1 egg
50 ml milk
also:
50 g butter for spreading
icing sugar for dusting
Preparation
Melt the butter for the filling. Mix the poppy seeds, sugar, almonds, orange zest and cinnamon in a bowl. Add the egg, milk, rum, chopped prunes and butter and leave to soak for 10-15 minutes.
For the dough, mix the flour, sugar, vanilla, baking powder and salt. Add the curd cheese, butter and eggs and knead everything into a smooth dough.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface into a rectangle approx. 1 cm thick (approx. 25×35 cm). Spread the poppy seed filling on top.
Fold the two shorter sides of the rectangle slightly over the filling. Roll up about a third of the dough from one of the two long sides, then roll up the other long side and fold it slightly over the other roll to create the typical stollen shape.
Place the stollen on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Preheat the oven to 190°C hot air.
Bake the stollen for 10 minutes. Then reduce the temperature to 170°C and bake for 30-35 minutes.
After baking, brush the stollen with melted butter while still hot, dust with icing sugar and leave to cool.
