It’s great to use this recipe for spaghetti sauce. I can never get enough sauce from a single jar. Fresh ingredients have a flavor that I enjoy. In this dish, I like to mix the two together! The red wine is the key factor. Add mozzarella cheese and mushrooms to your preferred pasta before serving.

Ingredients
- 8 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 ounces compressed fresh yeast
- 1 pinch white sugar
- 1 tablespoon lukewarm milk
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 cup white sugar
- 2 egg yolks
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 ¾ cups chopped blanched almonds
- 1 ¼ cups raisins
- 6 tablespoons candied lemon peel
- 6 tablespoons chopped candied orange peel
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
Instructions
- Place flour in a large bowl, make a well in the center, and crumble fresh yeast into it. Sprinkle in sugar and add 1 tablespoon milk. Cover and let rise at a warm place for 15 minutes.
- Heat 1 1/2 cups milk and 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons unsalted butter in a saucepan over low heat until butter is melted.
- Pour milk-butter mixture over yeast mixture and add 1 cup sugar, egg yolks, and salt. Knead until a soft dough forms. Cover with a clean dish towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix almonds, raisins, candied lemon peel, and candied orange peel together and fold into the dough. Shape dough into a loaf and place on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and let rest until the loaf has risen again slightly, about 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven until toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, 45 to 60 minutes. Remove from oven. Brush hot stollen immediately with 2 tablespoons melted butter and dust with confectioners’ sugar.
- You can also use sultanas instead of raisins, or a combination of the two.
