Looking for Christmas stollen recipe by Thomas Haas

[Sylverdumpling]

I am in love with the Christmas Stollen by Thomas Haas. I ate a whole loaf last year. I think I'm still working it off I have read in some posts that his recipe was posted several years ago. But I can't find it anywhere. I'm hoping someone might still have it ?

There was a discussion about stollen several years ago here, and someone mentioned that the recipe had been published in a local paper (Metro). Someone posted a link to the recipe on the Metro site but that page has since been deleted. Thank goodness for the way back machine! Try this link...

Nice piece of sleuthing.  Can anyone fathom why he calls for equal parts pastry, cake and bread flour?

Not only the flour combination, but that is one huge amount of yeast - 70g fresh yeast would equate to about 30g of instant yeast which, in my humble opinion is about three times what I would use. Any thoughts of why so much yeast?
