BREADMAKER STOLLEN 
2 1/2 tsp. dry yeast
3 c. plus 1 tbsp. bread flour (Gold Medal best for bread brand)
3/4 tsp. salt
5 tbsp. sugar
3 tbsp. dry skim milk (Carnation)
3/4 c. plus 1 tbsp. lukewarm water
5 tbsp. sweet butter
1 egg
3/4 tsp. vanilla extract
3/4 tsp. mace
1 tbsp. grated lemon peel
1/2 c. golden raisins soaked in rum or warm water (drained)
3 tbsp. mixed candied fruit
2 1/2 oz. pkg. sliced almonds

Welbilt bread machines call for dry yeast to be added in the inner pot on the side. Add all dry ingredients in order on top. Then add lukewarm water. Add egg, butter, vanilla extract. Press select button for sweet bread (if unit has one). Press start button.

When machine's beeper sounds 10 times at the second kneading stage, add raisins and nuts. My machine takes 4 hours.

Adjust the recipe according to your own machine.

I love this recipe. I've been making it for years and given it as gifts to many happy recipients. I always soak all of the fruit overnight in rum (draining before adding, of course).

I usually use the dough setting on my machine, taking the dough out and dividing it into two, and sometimes three, loves baking them on a cookie sheet.

Hi I am going to use this recipe for the first time. How does the stollen turn out in the bread machine. I presently only use the dough cycle when I make bread. Because I don't like the shape or "poofy" texture of the bread when totally done in the machine.
I would also like to put marzipan through the middle.
Thank you for any feedback that would be helpful.

I don't use my bread machine for baking most of the time unless I'm making a plain loaf, though a Zojirushi machine bakes a more standard shaped loaf. It usually rises so high that the top doesn't brown as well as it should. So I use it for dough when making fancier kinds of loaves and the kinds that are rolled out and stuffed like a cinnamon bread.
