    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, cinnamon, and dried lavender.

    3

    Add the proofed yeast and the melted butter. 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 fold the two ends in slightly.

    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. During the last 10 minutes, cover with aluminum foil to prevent burning.

    8

    Let the baked stollen cool completely, then sprinkle the top with powdered sugar.
