Puree dried plums with water.
Mix flour and yeast. Add butter, eggs, sugar, honey, stollen or gingerbread spices, milk and plum puree. Knead everything into a smooth dough with the dough hooks of the hand mixer. Cover and leave to rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes.
Coarsely chop the walnuts and mix with plums, cranberries and flour. Knead the dough on a floured surface, press flat and spread the plum mixture on top. Beat the dough together and knead everything well, making sure that the fruits are mixed with dough.
Form the dough into an oblong shape and place it in a well greased box form (approx. 30 cm long). Cover and leave to rise again for approx. 45 minutes.
Bake the fruit bread in a preheated oven at 180 °C (gas: level 2-3, fan oven: 160 °C) for about 45-50 minutes.
