Tried this recipe last night (with dried blueberries though); turned out perfect, yummy! Question: any advice on how to bake smaller stollen to give away as gifts?

We just kicked off the 2010 Christmas baking season with this recipe, which has now become one of our own holiday traditions. Delicious, as always! However, we still hope to convince you someday of the merits of the sweet, noble California raisin. Unlike American beer, it is thought by many to be better than its German cousin. But hey, with or without raisins, this recipe makes the perfect treat for a cold, early December day.

[...] and not spectacular enough for a birthday, so I baked my version of the quarkstollen I found in Delicious Days and cut it in two. Then, for the filling I used the same method as Susan in her strawberry snack [...]

I made my first Stollen just a couple of weeks ago and used the Dr. Oetker recipe. I'll post it on my blog in the next few days, but I'm so glad you've posted a recipe you like after trying a few because Dr. Oetker's doesn't use yeast which ends up making it fairly dense, and having just received a Stollen from a dear friend in Germany (Meeta at What's for Lunch, Honey?) I now know that the consistency was wrong, though the taste was correct, and I suspect this is due to the lack of yeast in it. I will definitely be trying this recipe soon.

Oh, das ist soo toll! Ich bin auch kein großartiger Rosinenfreund (besonders durchs Backen harte+fast schwarze Sultaninen sind ganz fies...*schüttel*) und Zitronat und Orangeat sind auch nicht wirklich meins... Stollen war also noch nie so wirklich mein Ding, nach einem Anstandsstück hab ich dem Rest der Familie den Weg freigegeben ;-) Euer Stollenrezept hört sich super an, das werde ich dieses Jahr mal ausprobieren, vielleicht mit ein paar zusätzlichen Nüssen. Danke!!!

THank you for the recipe which I am just dying to try. However I cannot find quark curd where I live. IWhat can I use in its place?
