German Stollen Bread

Timothy, I had to google "Jonesing"; learned a new word today! :)

If you like Stollen and don;t want to bake it, Dimplmeier, a Canadian bakery, sells a very good one. A very few stores here carry it during the holidays, as does the Commissary.

Beat the egg whites and icing sugar to stiff peak.
Blitz the apricot kernels with a little sugar then fold everything into the meringue to make a paste, put dollops on a baking tray. bake at 170c for 15 min or till the start to crack, cool then cover with icing sugar.
Nb you should use the two spoon method to shape the paste into quinelles

Thanks for the recipe chef, unlike the stollen, I believe I can make these without a problem. But you never know, I can be a problem child so please stay close to this forum.

They are breads and Chef Bolas has helped me through not making a mess out of them. He taught bread making, wish I could take his class. Bread flour is the best for making any kind of bread, give it a try.

OK Chef, help me out, what is "muffin the mule"?

Muffin the Mule was a BBC kids prog in the 50's Muffin was supported by Willie the Worm and Crumpet the Clown who would sing the signature song "we want muffin"

I don't understand; was the bread stollen by the Germans, or was it stollen from the Germans?
