If you're short on time to make your own stollen, you can find it for sale this time of year in specialty bakeries, such as Olde World Pastries Plus in Green Bay, Johnston's Bakery in Sheboygan, Peter Sciortino Bakery in Milwaukee, and New Glarus Bakery in New Glarus.
German immigrants brought this tradition with them to Wisconsin, and it took hold. Whether your stollen uses candied citrus peel instead of green cherries, or adds marzipan, or loads the bread with nuts, you can find it at holiday brunch tables across the state. Additionally, the finished bread is covered with butter and powdered sugar. While it comes in many varieties, most recipes use the same basic ingredients: candied and dried fruits, nuts, and spices. This yeast bread is an annual holiday tradition in its home country of Germany.

"It's pretty easy to have a conversation, grab a slice of kringle and then come back and do it all over again a few minutes later." Here's another: "Kringle happens to be the perfect fit for sharing," said Matt Horton, Vice President of Ecommerce and Marketing at O & H Danish Bakery. One possibility is "the ability to deliver it directly to family and friends' doorsteps," according to Marie Heyer, Director of Marketing at Racine Kringle. Though kringles have been part of Wisconsin life for decades, recent years have cemented its reputation as an essential part of holiday brunches. When many people think of things unique to Wisconsin, kringle - a flaky, oval-shaped Danish pastry - frequently comes to mind, to the point where the treat was named Wisconsin's Official State Pastry in 2013 and one from Uncle Mike's Bake Shoppe in De Pere was named the "Coolest Thing Made In Wisconsin" in 2018's Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce contest of the same name.
