Advent: Festive German Bakes to Celebrate the Coming of Christmas

Anja Dunk · Advent: Festive German Bakes to Celebrate the Coming of Christmas

Christbrot is very similar to a Weihnachtsstollen, but lighter in texture, and is best eaten freshly baked without needing time to mature. This is one of the reasons why a Christbrot is more popular to bake at home than a Stollen each year. It isn’t hard to make Christbrot but the method involves a triple rise, so you’ll need to set a morning or afternoon aside if you choose to make it.
