Vienna Christmas Stollen
1 1/2 cup Milk, scald/cool to lukewa
3 1/2 Yeast, dry/envelopes
3/4 cup Water, lukewarm
3 cup Flour, sifted
1/2 cup Eggs, yolks/lightly beaten
3/4 cup Sugar
2 tsp Salt
1 cup Flour
1/2 cup Butter, softened
Flour, 10-11 c. as needed
5 cup Sultanas, (currants)
1 1/2 cup Almonds, chopped or slivered
1 cup Citron, chopped
1/2 Lemon, rind only/grated
2 tsp Rum
Milk should be cooled to about 100 degrees. Dissolve the yeast in the
lukewarm water and add 1/4 c. of the cooled milk and 3 c. sifted
flour. Cover the sponge with a cloth and let it ripen until bubbles
appear on the surface and it is about to drop in the center. Pour the
remaining milk over the sponge. Add the egg yolks, sugar and salt and
beat until the ingredients are well blended. Add 1 cup flour and beat
well. Blend in the butter. Add more flour gradually to make a smooth
dough, or until 10 to 11 cups have been added. Some flours absorb
more liquid than others. Knead in the sultanas, almonds, and citron,
along with the lemon rind which should be mixed with the rum. Knead
the dough until the fruits and nuts are dispersed well through it and
it is smooth. Dust the top lightly with flour and let it rise in a
warm place about 45 minutes. Punch it down and let stand for 20
minutes. Divide the dough in half and knead the pieces until smooth.
Let them stand for 10 minutes longer. Place one ball of dough on a
lightly floured board, and with a rolling pin, press down the center
of the ball, and roll the pin to and fro 4 to 5 times, pressing all
the time to make an elliptical shape 6 inches long and 3 1/2" wide.
The center rolled part should be 1/8" thick and 4 inches long. Both
ends should remain untouched, resembling rather thick lips. Place
this rolled out piece of dough on a buttered baking sheet and brush
the center part with melted butter. Fold one lip toward the other and
on the top of it. Press the fingertips down near and below the lips,
pulling somewhat apart. Give a pull away from each end, pointing them
toward the lips. The shape should resemble a waning moon. Repeat the
process with the second piece of dough. (Unless you have gone
completely crazy by now! note: my comment, not Gourmet's). Let the
Stollen rise, covered in a warm place until they double in bulk,
about 1 1/2 hours. Bake them in a moderately hot oven (375 degrees)
for 35 to 40 minutes. Do not overbake them. Cool them on racks. Brush
them with butter and cover with vanilla sugar. Recipe will be posted
under R-MM VANILLA SUGAR. Source: Gourmet , Old Vienna Cookbook

Advice on losing weight
If you enjoy your food, but need to get in shape and boost your general vitality, then, as any doctor will tell you, you really should decide on a thoughtfully planned well-balanced weight loss program. In theory, this needs to include 5 portions of fruit & vegetables a day and also take in the correct combination of protein, carbs and fat.
When devising a daily routine, you have to also try to decrease your intake of fats, refined carbohydrate and salt.
When buying food, dieters often look at retail store and branded products claiming to be 'low-fat'. This is frequently a mistake, insofar as a food may well be lowered in fat, but whilst still being far too high in carbohydrates and calories.
Learn to recognise the difference between hunger and thirst. Every now and then when going through a hectic day, you consider you need food when in actuality you might just want a cold cup of water or squash. The feelings of hunger and thirst are somewhat similar, albeit one of the two can lead to weight gain and the other one leads to no damage.
As an alternative to thinking about which types of food that you really should leave out of your diet, focus on the nutritionally sound foods which you might want to add to your weight loss program. If you manage to bring in the recommended portions nourishing grains and vegetables into your dietary regime, you will be amazed to find that you feel more full and have a much reduced probability of giving in to those unwholesome afternoon sweets and chocolate bars.
