 Place room temperature dough ingredients in pan in the order
 recommended by manufacturer. Candied cherries, citron, raisins, and
 walnuts can be added 5 minutes before the end of the last kneading.
 Select Dough/Manual cycle. Check dough consistency after 5 minutes
 of kneading. The dough should be in a soft, tacky ball. If it is
 dry and stiff, add water, 1/2 to 1 tb at a time. If it is too wet
 and sticky, add 1 tb of flour at a time.

 Remove dough after mixing is complete -- do not let dough rise in
 bread machine.

 Place dough in lightly oiled bowl and turn to grease top. Cover
 with plastic wrap or foil. Refrigerate 6 to 12 hours.

 Remove dough from refrigerator, punch down, and allow to rest
 10 minutes before shaping. On a lightly floured surface, roll or
 pat to a 14x8" oval; spread with softened butter. Fold in half
 lengthwise, place on greased baking sheet and curve into a
 crescent. Press folded edge firmly to seal. Cover; let rise until
 an indentation remains after lightly touching side of stollen.

 Set oven @ 350°F/175°C.

 Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown. Cool on rack.
 Generously sift powdered sugar over top and garnish with additional
 cherries and nuts, if desired.
