This Italian holiday loaf is flavored with raisins and orange zest and gets its airy, open crumb from a long rise. A classic sweet bread for New Year celebrations and other special occasions.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the sponge

20 min

Stir the fresh yeast and a pinch of sugar into the lukewarm milk until dissolved. Add a little all-purpose flour to make a thick mixture and leave it for 20 minutes, until foamy.

2

Knead the dough

20 min

Start kneading the remaining all-purpose flour, eggs, sugar and salt with the sponge. Add the butter a little at a time and continue kneading until the dough is glossy and elastic.

3

Let the dough rise

120 min

Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours, until doubled in size.

4

Add the fruit and shape

60 min

Work the raisins and orange zest into the dough and place it in the mold. Cover and let it rise for a second time for about 1 hour.

5

Bake the panettone

40 min

Bake in a preheated oven until dark golden on top and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

Reminder

Follow both long proofing stages; shortening them will keep the bread from developing its light, airy crumb. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), egg and dairy.

Buzdolabında beklerken kabuğu sertleşti, önerdiğiniz gibi örtmemişim. Karıştırırken fazla çırpmışım, dokusu sertleşti.

Bir dahaki sefere ölçüleri biraz daha dikkatli tartarsanız fark edeceksiniz.

Buzdolabında beklerken kabuğu sertleşti, önerdiğiniz gibi örtmemişim. Bekletme süresini atladım, tadı biraz eksik kaldı. Malzemeleri sırayla eklemeyi unuttum, kıvamı biraz farklı oldu.
