  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.
