Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup warm milk
  • 6 tablespoons granulated white sugar
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3 cups flour
  • 6 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup raisins
  • 1/2 cup candied orange

Instructions

  • In the bowl of a stand mixer with the paddle attachment or the dough hook or a large mixing bowl using a wooden spoon, add the warm milk, eggs, sugar, and yeast. Mix everything together well.
  • If using a stand mixer, mix on low speed.
  • Once everything is mixed well add in the flour.
  • Mix everything together until a dough is formed.
  • Cover the bowl with a plastic wrap and allow the dough to ferment and let it slow rise for around an hour at room temperature.
  • After an hour or so of proofing, add in the butter. Knead the dough for ten minutes or until you get a very soft and elastic dough.
  • Need the dough and stretch it so it is semi a flat shape and add the candied orange and raisins.
  • Continue kneading the dough to mix the fruit and raisins into the dough.
  • Place the dough ball into the panettone bread mold. If you are using a liner, put the liner in before you put the dough into the pan.
  • Allow the dough to continue to proof until it has doubled in size.
  • Once the dough has doubled in size, use a very sharp knife, score a cross mark across the entire top of the panettone.
  • Place about a tablespoon of butter in the center.
  • Bake at 350 F for 30 minutes and then reduce the temperature to 325 F and bake for another 25-30 minutes.
  • It will be ready once a skewer inserted into the center of the panettone cake comes out clean.
