How to make California Farm Christmas Stollen, from scratch:
- Cover 1/2 cup raisins, 4 chopped dried apricots, 1/4 cup brandied cherries with a 1/2 cup of cherry brandy. Chop dried apricots and brandied cherries in small M&M size pieces. Soak overnight.
- Make half a pound of california cheese. In dutch oven, gently heat quart of full milk with 1/2 tsp salt to 190F degrees, scrape bottom and sides, stirring to keep temperature even. Do not boil. Drizzle juice of half a Meyer lemon. Turn off heat. Let stand till it curdles, about 10 minutes, ladle curds into towel on top of colander in glass bowl. Save the 500ml or so leftover wey to make dough. Drain, squeeze the cheese into a ball. Set aside.
- Make the marzepan. Best flavor comes from equal weights, not volume, of almonds and confectionary sugar. Grind almonds to ultra fine powder in coffee grinder, like espresso coffee. Put in food processor. Add 1 whipped egg white. Add Tbs rosewater. Add 1/2 pound confectioners sugar in tablespoons till paste is solid. Flour the roll, make marzepan salami size. Set aside.
- Make the candied orange and lemon rinds. Thinly peel two oranges and one big meyer lemon. Chop. Mix half a cup of sugar with a cup of water and chopped rinds. Bring to a boil, simmer an hour till liquid becomes a thick syrup. Cool, then mix with cherry brandy for brushing on top of baked stollen.
- In bread mixer, put 2 cups warm whey or warm full milk, 2 Tbs sugar and 1 Tbs yeast, mix till bubbling. Add 4 cups of flour, mix. When the dough starts to rise, Add mix of 1/4 cup almond flour, stick of molten butter, 1 1/2 beaten eggs, tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 pound california fresh cheese, tsp salt and 1/4 tsp each ground cardamom, cinnamon, mace, cloves. Mix all together, cover, let rise till double, few hours.
- Make four dough balls and roll out 4 concentric ovals on floured stone tile, bottom one smallest, each other 1/2” larger than one below. Sprinkle 1/3 of fruits on bottom layer, brush with cherry brandy. Second layer on top, 1/3 of fruit and brush with brandy. Lay marzepan roll in center, 1 inch shorter than length of dough.Third layer of dough on top, sprinkle fruit, brush with brandy on top. Fourth layer of dough on top. Press edges together. Let rise one hour. Bake 30 minutes at 375F.
- Finish. Warm, dont heat, mixture of cherry brandy, with 2Tbs butter and candied citrus peel while stollen bakes. Brush Stollen with mix, decorate with candied citrus peel.
- Sieve confectioners sugar over Stollen. Cool your cake. “stollen” means solidify, the marzipan inside the cake has to be cold, then slice and serve. Happy Holidays. Enjoy.
