Panettone
- 500 grams flour
- 200 milliliters milk
- 100 grams sugar
- 100 grams butter
- 3 eggs
- 7 grams dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 100 grams candied peel (finely chopped)
- 100 grams dried fruits (such as raisins, candied fruits, orange peel)
- lemon or orange zest, aromatic spices (cinnamon, nutmeg)
Place the yeast in warm milk with a small amount of sugar for 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, vanilla, and, if desired, aromatic spices.
Add melted butter and eggs to the flour, as well as milk with activated yeast.
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.
If desired, you can decorate the panettone with glaze or sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.
