German Stollen is a traditional holiday dessert that originated in Dresden in the 15th century. It's a sweet, spiced loaf made with ingredients like almonds, raisins, currants, and mixed peel. This vegan version is made without any animal products, so it's perfect for anyone following a plant-based diet. The marzipan filling gives it a tasty sweetness and helps to keep the inside moist. Serve it sliced with a cup of tea or coffee for a festive treat!

Instructions

1.In a small bowl, crumble the yeast and stir in the brown sugar and soymilk until well combined. Set aside for 5 minutes.
2.In a large bowl, mix together the flour, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture, vanilla extract, almond extract, and margarine to form a dough.
3.Knead the dough on a floured surface for 10 minutes, then place it back in the bowl to rise for 1 hour.
4.Preheat the oven to 180°C. Mix the almonds, raisins, currants, and mixed peel into the dough. Roll out the marzipan and place it down the middle of the dough. Fold the dough over to cover the marzipan and shape it into a loaf.
5.Place the stollen on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush it with olive oil. Bake for 1 hour, then remove from the oven and let cool. Dust with icing sugar before serving.
