     I would like to try it, I would like to know how to leave the rum out! Otherwsise I don't think there would be any problem for me to make/bake it! Thank you! - 12/9/09

     I haven't made this yet but have printed the recipe. Made stollen for years. For those who don't use much whole wheat flour, store it in the freezer and it will last a lot longer. Will also add a little cardamon to stollen!

     Great! I used to make stollen every Christmas, but haven't in nearly 20 years. Never made it with rum, though! - 12/5/08

     Come on people. this is a fruit cake. Of course its going to have lots of ingredients! I don't eat it myself, but because it is on the healthy side, I will try making it for my husband who loves fruit cake and is part German. And as mentioned before, it is a holiday treat, not made everyday. - 12/5/08

     This looks so good-I love fruitcakes and I love bread and I love wholegrains! Hard to streamline this type of recipe, they're just naturally full of all kinds of good things...unlike the unhealthy ones that are mainly full of 3 ingredients: white flour, white sugar & fat. I plan to try this one! - 12/5/08
  • BRAZILBARB
     Wonder if its as good as the stollen my German grandpa used to make. - 12/5/08

     How is this recipe healthier? 179 cal per slice is still pretty pricy, caloriewise. - 12/5/08

     The preparation sounds a bit complicated but I sense that it is worth the work. I am definitely going to give this recipe a try! Thanks for sharing! :-) - 12/5/08
  • JUSTCHECKING1
     While it has many healthy grains in it , for me the calories are still too high. - 12/5/08
  • NURSEDOPPLE
     This looks like a healthier alternative to traditional fruitcake, which I love - 12/5/08
  • BLUESTARMOM
     I agree, that there are a lot of ingredients, but most of them are ones I have on hand- mostly basic pantry items except for the wheat germ, flax seed, and rum (which I wish I had on hand). I think I"ll try it this weekend, and then maybe make one for a potluck it comes out. - 12/5/08
  • SPROUT
     Sounds like a Christmas adventure!! We love stollen, and I'm eager to give it a try. Thanks. Anyone got a fruitcake recipe? - 12/6/07
  • LUDIVINE
     really good! - 12/6/07
  • SHIRLRN
     This recipe sounds very good. I love stollen. I actually have all the ingredients on hand as I am really getting into whole grains and have a hard time finding recipes to use them. I do add many to bread I make in the breadmaker. I am always a little intimidated by yeast breads, but I will try. - 12/5/07
  • WCHILES_SF
     This is a great update on a classic holiday bread. Don't be intimidated by the ingredient list. Remember, it's a special holiday breadn not one you bake twice a month. - 12/5/07
  • JULYCHERYLL
     I won't make it either once I saw not only the ton of ingred, i.e. wheat germ and wheat bran.. white flour and wheat flour, cornmeal even, and only a couple of tablespoons. Why bother?! The reason I won't is food processor gets used AND rolling it out. That'd be OK with fewer ingred. Its too much! - 12/5/07
  • NAOMIKES
     I'll have to pass this on to my German MIL, who's very health-conscious. It sounds good! - 12/5/07
  • NITAINMN
     I would try this recipe because there aren't many out there with whole wheat flour. I also like the fact that it is very low fat and has 2.2 gms of fiber. Thanks! - 12/5/07
