Mary Berry’s recipes are usually pretty reliable, but I had trouble with this Stollen. The dough was horribly sticky, despite my adding extra flour and kneading (in my reliable old Kenwood Chef) for ten minutes longer than suggested. I hadn’t been planing to wrap the dough round marzipan anyway, as I dislike the stuff! After rising and knocking back, the dough was clearly still not going to hold a shape, so it ended up being cooked in a large loaf tin. Which took nearly twice as long as the recipe suggested. However, it seems to taste OK!
