Hi Lindsey, I’ve made the Christmas stollen and it has over browned in 35 minutes. I didn’t use the fan oven. Shall I reduce the temperature, cover it with foil half way through cooking or cook it for less time?

Hello,
It can be a little on the dark side.
If it’s very dark it could be that your oven is running a little high – in which case I would reduce the temperature a little. If you haven’t got one an oven thermometer is useful to make sure.
Also, as the stollen is quite large I position the oven shelf below the centre of the oven so the stollen sits nicely in the centre.
Now on a nationwide tour until November 2024, Awful Auntie is visiting over 25 venues nationwide and three lucky members have the chance of winning four tickets each to see this production in our competition with the Birmingham Stage Company.
