Purebread

Purebread’s stollen is far from traditional: “It’s like a chocolate croissant and stollen had a baby—it’s so tasty and unusual,” said Boys of this version’s dark chocolate and extra-creamy frangipane layers. Our other judges agreed, claiming it could have won were it in any other type of pastry competition. (But “it’s not stollen,” said one.) 159 W Hastings St., purebread.ca
