The process involves a starter, a patient rise, and a decadent mix of candied fruits and raisins.
The result is a golden-brown masterpiece with a sweet, airy crumb, perfect for sharing with loved ones during the festive season.

Instructions

  1. How To Start?

    In a small bowl, mix the flour and yeast.

  2. Add the lukewarm milk and stir until well combined.

  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

  4. Make The Dough

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the starter with the flour, sugar, softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, orange zest, lemon zest, and salt.

  5. Mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface until it becomes smooth and elastic.

  6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 2-3 hours, or until it doubles in size.

  7. Punch down the risen dough, and knead in the candied fruits, raisins, and chopped almonds.

  8. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a panettone mold or a tall, cylindrical pan lined with parchment paper.

  9. Cover the pan with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise for another 2-3 hours.

  10. Baking

    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).

  11. Bake the panettone for 40-45 minutes or until it’s golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  12. While the panettone is baking, prepare the glaze by heating the apricot jam and water in a small saucepan until melted.

  13. Once the panettone is done, brush the top with the apricot glaze for a shiny finish.

  14. Allow the panettone to cool completely before slicing.

  15. Note: Oven temperatures and times can vary, so keep an eye on your panettone to prevent over-browning.

    Enjoy, Good Appetite!
