20 years ago at my eldest daughter's christening, my then sister-in-law
brought a stollen her mother had made. Now before someone gets their
knickers in a twist about using 'pre-made' or 'canned' ingredients, close
this thread now and no one will get offended. The stollen was made using
Pillsbury crescent rolls. The mother has since died and the former
sister-in-law, although I still am cordial with her, couldn't boil water
without burning it, so forget getting a recipe from her. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
ginny

PS: it a 'memory' thing, this recipe, so please don't tell me I could make
my own stollen, I know that, what I want to do is replicate this one.

It's not possible to make a stollen from canned crescent rolls... a
very different pastry... made something but not stollen.

Try this:

I'm making only one comment: I don't understand the taste buds of
people who think Pillsbury bazooka breads of all kinds don't have an
odd/funny taste. This includes crescent rolls.

I agree. I used to think it was a strong baking soda flavor, but I'm
wondering if it's preservatives. Croissants taste like butter.
Crescents taste like chemicals.

In my opinion anything put out by Pillsbury is made for twelve year

It's a shame, too, because making Martha Stewart's mother's Stollen is
really easy (and really, really good) - just takes time.

I find whenever I've had "bam" breads or rolls that there is strange
saltiness to them that is very unpleasant.

They are just "off" somehow - I've never tried to determine what makes
them that way.

Was the theft reported to the police. Maybe check with
known fences in your area. My sympathies. ;-)

Sorry, Ginny, I just couldn't resist. I'm having one
of those days.

The German one we just bought is 952 calories a serving. So I've been
slicing it pretty thin.

mean....

I think this 'might' be it (fingers crossed). But if there are any others,
please feel free to send them on as well.
