    Preparation Steps

    1

    Crumble the yeast into 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 and melted butter. Mix well and 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 doubled in size.

    5

    Gently fold the walnuts, almonds, and raisins into the risen dough, then shape the stollen. Form the dough into a long, oval shape and fold both ends slightly inward.

    6

    Place the stollen on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let it rest for 30 minutes.

    7

    Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until golden brown. Cover with aluminum foil during the last 10 minutes to prevent burning.

    8

    Let the stollen cool completely, then dust the top generously with powdered sugar.
