2 tsp salt
2 eggs
1/2 cup soft shortening

Directions:
Add yeast to warm water in mixing bowl. Stir until dissolved.

Stir in milk, sugar, salt, eggs, shortening, almonds, citron, cherries, raisins, lemon rind, and half the flour. Mix with a spoon until smooth.

Add enough remaining flour to handle easily. Mix with hand.

Turn onto lightly floured board. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes).

Round the dough into a greased bowl and turn so greased side is up.

Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place (85º) until double (about 1 1/2 hour).

Punch down. Let rise again until double (about 1/2 hour).

Divide dough into 2 parts. Roll or pat out each dough into an oval about 12 inches by 8 inches.

Spread with soft butter. Fold in half the long way. Form each dough into a crescent and pinch edges so they stay together.

Place on greased baking sheets. Brush tops with butter. Let rise until double (35 to 45 minutes).

Bake at 375º for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown.

Frost or glaze with simple icing.

Personal Notes:
Granny Hyatt served us slices of stollen on Christmas morning. We liked to warm a slice in the microwave with a little butter.
