Stollen – szókincsbővítés, mini feladatok

Stollen is first mentioned in 15th-century documents, though the recipe has changed significantly since then. Originally an Advent meal eaten in monasteries, the bland bread didn’t include fruit or butter. It took six decades of a Saxon nobility effort to obtain the Pope’s permit to include butter in it. In 1491, the “Butter Letter” arrived and the recipe changed forever.

The inclusion of butter made for a richer cake; over time the recipe evolved into the dried fruit- and marzipan-accented loaf now prized at Christmas. Said to represent the swaddled Baby Jesus, the oblong, sugar-dusted loaves are Christollen in German. Time-consuming but worth the effort.
