Ingredients
For the Dough
- 500 g all-purpose flour the foundation for a beautifully fluffy panettone.
- 200 ml warm water helps activate the yeast for that perfect rise.
- 100 g sugar adds a touch of sweetness that's essential for flavor.
- 100 g unsalted butter, softened brings richness and moisture, making every bite delightful.
- 4 large eggs contribute to that light, airy texture and richness.
- 10 g active dry yeast the magic ingredient for a wonderful rise and fluffy crumb.
- 0.5 tsp salt enhances the sweet flavors and balances the dough.
For the Mix-ins
- 200 g mixed dried fruit adds bursts of sweetness and color that make every slice a treat.
- 1 tsp vanilla extract infuses the dough with a warm, inviting aroma that complements the mixed fruit.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a small bowl, combine the warm water and a pinch of sugar. Stir in the active dry yeast and set it aside for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, sugar, and salt.
- Add the eggs, softened butter, and the activated yeast mixture to the flour mixture. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Gently fold in the mixed dried fruit and vanilla extract.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 2 hours or until doubled in size.
- Gently punch down the risen dough and shape it into a ball. Place it into a panettone mold.
- Cover the mold with a cloth and let the dough rise for another hour until it has expanded noticeably.
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the panettone for 40-50 minutes until golden brown.
- Once baked, let the panettone cool in the mold for about 15 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
Notes
Optional: Dust with powdered sugar for a festive touch before serving.
