Stollen is a traditional German breadlike cake and this recipe is yet another version in which the loaf is made to look like buns hence the name Stollen buns. My version is filled with mixed fruit, white chocolate chunks (in place of marzipan, which I don't like) then iced with lemon flavoured icing and chopped pistachio nuts. This time too, I kneaded the dough by hand rather than using my electric mixer, just cause I couldn't face washing the beast! The bread turned out nice and fluffy but I think it could have used a few minutes in the oven and less sweetness!
