Preparation Steps
1
Crumble the yeast into the lukewarm milk, add a pinch of sugar, and let it proof for 10 minutes.
2
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, and cinnamon.
3
Add the proofed yeast, melted butter, and coffee. Mix well, then knead until the dough is smooth and elastic.
4
Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
5
Mix the raisins and almonds into the risen dough, then shape the stollen. Form the dough into a long, oval shape and slightly fold in the two ends.
6
Place the stollen on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let it rest for 30 minutes.
7
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (180°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown. Cover with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes to prevent burning.
8
Let the finished stollen cool completely, then sprinkle the top with powdered sugar.
