Amsterdam Stol Using Bread Machine Recipes

Steps:

• Place flour in a large bowl, make a well in the center, and crumble fresh yeast into it. Sprinkle in sugar and add 1 tablespoon milk. Cover and let rise at a warm place for 15 minutes.
• Heat 1 1/2 cups milk and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat until butter is melted.
• Pour milk-butter mixture over yeast mixture and add 1 cup sugar, egg yolks, and salt. Knead until a soft dough forms. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix almonds, raisins, candied lemon peel, and candied orange peel together and fold into the dough. Shape dough into a loaf and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rest until the loaf has risen again slightly, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove from oven. Brush hot stollen immediately with 2 tablespoons melted butter and dust with confectioners' sugar.

Steps:

• Zest the lemon partly; you need about 2 tsp of zest. Put currants in bowl with hot water and soak circa 15 minutes Put milk, bread mix (with yeast), sugar, zest, and cinnamon in bread machine and put it on its dough cycle. Cut apricots and prunes in small pieces and add while the machine is kneading. Drain the currants and add while the machine is kneading. Break the Amaretti in small pieces and add about two minutes before the end of the kneading phase. Allow the dough to rise in the machine.
• Form almond paste into a roll. Dust bench with flour; take dough out of bread machine when ready and form on bench into an oval. Press a long indentation into the top of the dough, push in the almond paste roll, and fold dough around almond paste. Put on a well-greased baking sheet and bake at 200 deg C (390 deg F) until golden brown and cooked (circa 30 mins); if necessary cover with alufoil for about 10 mins to prevent it from browning too much. Take out of oven (optionally: brush with melted butter to enhance gloss) and allow to cool.
