Cooking tip: The larger the Stollen you make, the better - it'll keep the moisture and flavour for longer. Make sure you serve it at room temperature, too, for more flavour.
Panettone
Panettone is a traditional Italian bread popular in Milan and all over Italy over Christmas and new year.

Tip: If you're serving this to adults, a glass of sweet liqueur like Amaretto goes really well with it.

Cooking tip: If you want your strudel to have a soft, golden crust, brush the pastry with egg yolk. Use egg white for a glossy crust.
