Traditional German pastries are becoming more and more popular in Ukraine and are even fixed on the Christmas tables of Ukrainians. So, for example, it is not surprising that stollens became popular in our country. They are tasty, fragrant and they are stored for a very long time.
I chose the best version of stolen for us – cheese or Quark Stollen. Like the classic version of stollen, cheese can be stored from 1 to 4 weeks. Over time, it will only reveal its taste. But, unlike the classic one, it is much easier to bake.
Cheese stollen is more like a Christmas cake, it is unleavened and therefore softer than the classic version.
Stollen, like cupcakes, will be a great gift for the holidays. If you visit sb, grab the prepared stollen.

One stollen, for a test, it is better to cut on the second day after baking. Wrap the other three in foil and cling film, and leave in a dark place to ripen. The best taste of stollen takes place after 2 weeks.
