I just too a bite...

Mmmmm.... I am tired and exhausted from yesterday's bike ride. I didn't get enough sleep and mosquitoes were biting me all night... But... biting into a piece of freshly made stollen makes you forget everything. What a treat!!! It is by far the best baked creation I have ever tasted. It is my another experimentation with sourdough, actually the same panettone dough, but the end result is totally different. This dough hasn't been proofed and I baked it pretty much right away. So the texture is not fluffy, or flaky, but the taste is amazing. The almond paste with chunks of toasted almonds blends great. The cranberries that I have soaked overnight in syrup, make it sweet enough and powdered sugar on top. Well, that my daughter's favorite part.
I better cut another piece and hop in the hammock for a little siesta soon!!!
