Great Grandma Blohm’s Stollen recipe
This recipe is for Hungarian Christmas Stollen. My great Grandma brought it over in the early 1900’s from Hungary when she emigrated to the US. It a very old family recipe, so count yourselves lucky that I”m sharing. Its amazing, and unlike any other stollen you will ever eat. The recipe is redone a bit to make the dough in a bread machine, but you can also do it in a mixer with ahook, just let it rise at least twice.
Dough Ingredients
2 cups milk
1/2 c melted butter
3/4 c sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 whole beaten egg
6 1/2 cups bread flour
2 1/2 tsp yeast
Combine milk and butter and heat to a temp of 90-100 degrees. Pour into a 2# automatic bread machine. Add ingredients in the following order: sugar, salt, beaten egg, flour. Add yeast into a well in the flour. Set machine on dough and let it rise
Filling:
3 cups crushed walnuts
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup melted butter.
Mix together. You may have to tweak the measurements a little. If you squeeze some in your fist, it should hold together, not crumble apart.
Roll out dough. Brush with melted butter. Spread filling on top of dough and roll AS TIGHTLY AS POSSIBLE. Fold ends over. Cover with a towel and Place in a warm spot and let rise. Brush with butter and bake at 350 degrees for 40-50 minutes.
When cool frost (recipe to follow) and top with maraschino cherries.
Frosting
1/2 c butter
2 c powdered sugar
1 egg white
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp milk
Banana cranberry chocolate chip muffins (Britta)

breakfast I posted these on my blog, with photo.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream together:
- 1/3 cup vegetable shortening
- 2/3 cup sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Then add and mix until light and fluffy:
- 1 egg
- 2 egg whites
- 2-3 mushed ripe bananas
Sift together:
- 1.75 cups flour
- 2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Blend until just mixed, then add
- 1 heaping cup of cut up cranberries
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (or more, depending on your mood)
Bake for 15-20 minutes, depending on how heaping they are. This can also be done in a bread loaf, and that bakes for 1 hour. Remember, if using glass (Pyrex), turn temp down 25 degrees and bake 15 extra minutes to prevent uneven burning along the edge of the pan.
Light Pumpkin Muffins (Heather)
Can also be made as bread loaves.
3 cups flour (I use a 2:1 ratio whole wheat flour to regular flour)
2/3 cup Splenda BLEND Sugar for baking
1/4 cup Splenda BLEND Brown Sugar Blend
2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (or blend of cloves, nutmeg, allspice, ginger)
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp salt
1 can pumpkin
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup applesauce
3/4 cup egg beaters OR 3 eggs
3/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1) Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray muffin cups or loaf pans with non-strick spray
2) In large bowl, stir flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and salt
3) In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin, eggs, vanilla, oil and applesauce.
4) Stir pumpkin mixture into flour mixture until smooth. Fold in chocolate chips. Scoop into muffin pans or bread loaf pans.
5) Bake muffins 25 minutes, small loaves need 30-35 minutes, and larger breads need 45-50 minutes.
Note: Only half as much sweetener volume is used in this Splenda BLEND recipe - for an alternative, use 2/3 cup regular sugar and 2/3 cup regular splenda sugar. Likewise, you would use 1/2 cup of regular brown sugar in place of 1/4 cup Splenda BLEND Brown Sugar Blend.
