Ingredients

2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ cup granulated sugar
2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast
½ tsp salt
½ cup milk
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp almond extract
½ cup dried cranberries
½ cup chopped almonds
¼.
In a saucepan, heat milk and butter until warm.
Add warm milk mixture, beaten eggs, and almond extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover, and let it rise in a warm place for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
In the meantime, prepare the stollen filling by mixing dried cranberries, chopped almonds, and candied orange peel in a small bowl.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
Punch down the risen dough and roll it into a rectangle.
Spread the stollen filling evenly on the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll the dough tightly from one long end to form a log-shaped babka.
Cut the babka in half lengthwise, exposing the filling.
Twist the two halves together to form a babka wreath. Place it on a greased baking sheet.
Bake for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
While the babka wreath is cooling, prepare the glaze by mixing powdered sugar and milk until smooth. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled babka.
Serve and enjoy!
