Wie ein Dresdner Christstollen gebacken wird: Willkommen in der Striezelmarkt-Schaubackstube.

Welcome to the stollen capital Dresden! Join us as Mayor Heller introduces us to the secrets of stollen baking.

Hanna: I am excited that we are all here today to bake the original Dresden Christmas stollen, using the old recipe that we have here. I have already googled the recipe, but I think it’s better to stick to the old recipe. So, we start with the yeast, sweet and bitter almonds, candied orange and lemon peel, butter, some spices, flour, and milk.

We first start with the yeast, and add some sugar to help it develop better. This is very important. Now we can add the other ingredients. We will start by cutting the fruits, since they have more flavor when freshly cut. Let’s go back to our childhood and mix all the ingredients well.

Mayor Heller: The stollen is only authentic with the seal on it. Let’s remember that the recipe has been passed down from generation to generation.

We now weigh the stollen, which have turned out to be 2 kilos. We make two round shapes and wrap them just like wrapping up a gift. Then they are sent into the oven at 200 degrees for 1 hour.

Mayor Heller: Remember that the Dresden Christmas stollen is only authentic with the stollen seal. It is important to buy or order it from Dresden.

Mädchen: I am a pastry chef in Dresden, and I love the Dresden Christmas stollen. It is a tradition for me to spend time with family during the Advent Sundays while enjoying coffee and stollen.

Christian: I am a Motorsport enthusiast and I have traveled to different countries. I love stollen with raisins, powdered sugar and marzipan.

Frauke Roth: I am the Intendant of Dresden Philharmonic Orchestra, and I have been living here since 2005. Music and stollen are both cultural treasures of Dresden that can enchant your senses.

Christian Rimmele: I am a German volleyball national player, and will be a mother for the first time. I can’t wait for this magical time of year, with stollen and happy children’s faces.

Michael Sittler: I am the mayor of Dresden and president of the German Agency. I love stollen because it reminds me of my childhood, when my father used to bake it during the holiday season. To bake a stollen is not an easy task. It requires skill and precision to get it to the perfect consistency and taste.

In Dresden, the Christmas stollen is not just a pastry, but a cultural heritage that has been passed down from generation to generation. It is a symbol of the love and care put into every aspect of the holiday season.

So, join us in Dresden, and taste the authentic Dresden Christmas stollen, only with the stollen seal.
