Start kneading the dough, adding candied fruit, dried fruits, and, if desired, zest. Continue kneading until you get a soft, elastic dough.
Cover the bowl with a towel and leave the dough to rise for 1-2 hours in a warm place until it doubles in size.
After rising, transfer the dough to a work surface and knead again to incorporate air.
Divide the dough into two portions and shape each into the respective panettone forms.
Transfer the dough into the pans and let it rest for another 30-40 minutes for the second rise.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
After the second rise, place the panettone in the oven and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until they are golden brown on top.
After baking, remove the panettone from the oven and let them cool before serving.
