    "This traditional German Christmas Stollen bread is a festive addition to your holiday celebration! The rich, buttery sweet bread is studded with a variety of dried fruits like cranberries, cherries and raisins, nuts, subtle notes of citrus, and plenty of warm spices. Finish it off with a blizzard of powdered sugar, grab a warm cup of coffee, and settle in for the ultimate cozy treat! A traditional German stollen is a cake-like yeast bread with a rather dense, somewhat dry texture -- very different from the moist, rum-soaked fruit cakes of American Christmas culture. The rich dough is not particularly sweet, but instead gets its flavor from citrus zest or candied citrus peels, as well as dried fruits. Some versions include additional ingredients such as rum, nuts or marzipan. Our family's easy stollen recipe does not include marzipan, but instead features a cinnamon-sugar swirl throughout the center of each loaf. Finally, the bread is dusted with a thick coating of powdered sugar for a "snowy," festive touch. "
