         Yield: 1 Stollen   
       
         1 pk Active, dry, or cake yeast   
         4 tb Sugar   
         1 ts Salt   
         4 tb Butter; soft   
         4 tb Walnuts; chopped   
         1 c  Seedless raisins   
     3 1/2 c  All purpose flour; sifted   
       3/4 c  Powdered sugar   
              Glaced cherries (opt)   
         4 tb Water; warm   
       3/4 c  Milk; scalded, cooled to   
              - lukewarm   
         1    Egg   
         4 tb Slivered, blanched almonds   
         4 tb Glaced lemon peel   
         4 tb Glaced orange peel   
         1 tb Grated lemon peel   
         2 tb Butter; melted   
         1 tb Milk   
              Sliced blanched almonds   
              - (opt)   
       
     Make two or three days before serving. In medium bowl,   
     dissolve yeast in water. Stir in lukewarm milk,   
     granulated sugar, salt, egg, soft butter. Next, stir in   
     slivered almonds, chopped walnuts, lemon peel, orange   
     peel, raisins, and 1 1/2 cups flour. Mix with spoon   
     until smooth. Mix in enough of remaining flour to handle   
     easily. Turn onto lightly floured board.   
        
     Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.   
        
     Put in greased bowl; brush top w/melted butter & cover   
     with towel. Let rise in warm place (80-85ºF/27-30ºF)   
     until double, about 1 1/2 hours.   
        
     Roll or pat dough into 12" X 8" oval. Spread with 1 tbs   
     melted butter. Fold in two lengthwise into crescent.   
     Press edges firmly enough to hold together place on a   
     greased sheet. Brush top with remaining melted butter.   
     Let rise until double, 35-45 minutes.   
        
     Set oven to 375ºF/190ºC. When loaf has doubled, bake   
     30-35 minutes or until golden brown and done.   
        
     Frost, while still warm, with confectioner's sugar and   
     [1 tb] milk, beaten together until creamy. Let frosting   
     drip down sides of loaf. Decorate with glaced cherries   
     and sliced almonds, if desired.   
        
     Store in tightly covered container.
