Stollen is over browned

Asked on 13 Dec 2020 by Mazz

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.

Kind regards

Lindsey
