Is there much benefit to make strong gluten for German stollen?
I do understand it’s very important to make strong gluten network for a panettone with a taller height and extremely large air bubbles.
But when it comes to German stollen I don’t think such excessive mixing time is necessary.
Because this bread is supposed to be so dense rather than fluffy.
I always stop kneading once it comes together and become strong to some degree when making it.
What do you think about it?
