BRUG Bakery
BRUG’s Christmas stollen ($27) is a traditional German loaf laden with candied fruits and dusted with powdered sugar. BRUG recommends slicing its stollen into thin (1/4-inch) pieces from the middle of the loaf, where the flavor is the richest, and enjoying the bread with coffee or tea. It’s also recommended to keep the bread at room temperature (not in direct sunlight) and to enjoy it gradually — since this is a confection that matures, the fruits’ flavors fill the bread more as each day passes.
