THE STOLEN, STOLON, STOLLEN RECEIPT

Banjo Bonnie ~ Well the stollen is quite a bit like a fruit cake only not so heavy a little more bread like. It's great for breakfast furing the holidays ~ especially toasted and goes well with a good cup of coffee.

To make a stollen just follow the receipt for any sweet roll dough that uses around 7 cups of flour. When you get to the part where you mix around half of the flour with the liquids you add the goodies: One half cups of: WALNUTS, CANDIED CHERRIES, CITRON, and two cups of big RAISINS.

Playing a bit of clawhammer banjo seems to help the dough to rise.

After it rises ~ devide it into two or three parts and shape it into globs that resemble a half moon OR flatten the parts out forming a circle around 3/4 of an inch thick ~ butter the top and fold it over pinching the sides together so it doesn't come apart. Bake at around 350 deg. for around 25 min. or so. Top with white icing and decorate with red and green candies cherries ~ with a bit of practice you can make them look like poinsettias.
