Stollen is a dense, rich bread with butter, dried fruit, candied peel and spices. Some versions are quite sweet and may include marzipan or nuts. The top is often covered in icing/powdered sugar. Stollen is traditionally baked for Christmas or Advent in some parts of Germany, and possibly originated from the desire to have a more festive and flavoursome bread in the time of Advent fasting.
