| Almonds, candied fruits, and citrus peel are some of the essential ingredients for this Easter bread, which is similar to a German Christmas favorite, stollen. To transform this recipe into a stollen-like bread, add 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom with the flour and use the Glaze recipe instead of the Almond Icing. |
