Christmas Stollen, Dresden-Style

By Jürgen Krauss

This stollen is laden with fruit and is made with double cream and lots of butter. For me, it is inseparable from Christmas.

First of all, the bolognese sauce in this recipe is incredible. I cook every day, and have made countless versions, this one is easily the best! Pairing it with a risotto is an inspired move. The finished dish is flavorful, cosy, and impressive to serve. The sauce can be made ahead, which makes this totally doable for guests. This is definitely one to add to your rotation!
