Oma's Marzipan Stollen

"My German grandma followed this stollen recipe and made it for us when we were young. I love this dessert. It tastes great, and it reminds me of her and the German food she made. I often freeze this sweet bread once it's shaped into a braid. Then I can pull it out the night before, let it rise on the counter overnight, and bake it in the morning. —Abigail Leszczynski, Beauford, South Carolina..."
