📖 Recipe
American-Style Panettone
Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups flour
- ½ cup water
- 1/16 teaspoon yeast
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup unsalted butter (cut into chunks)
- 2 ½ cups flour
- ⅓ cup sugar
- 5 teaspoons yeast
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- ⅛ teaspoon orange or lemon extract
- 1 ½ cups dried fruit, chopped if necessary (about 9 ounces)
Instructions
- Combine 1 ½ cups flour, ½ cup water, and 1/16 teaspoon yeast. Mix until combined. Cover bowl and let rise overnight, about 12 hours.
- Combine dough in your stand mixer with all remaining ingredients except dried fruit. Using the dough hook, mix and knead until the dough comes together. Dough will not be very smooth. Cover and let dough rest for an hour.
- Fold in fruit, either with the stand mixer or by hand. Knead only until the fruit is incorporated. Let dough rest for 10 minutes.
- Make a hole in the center of the dough, then place into a well-greased tube or Bundt pan. Cover the pan, then let dough rise for 2 hours. Dough will not double in size, but will be puffy.
- Remove cover. Bake panettone at 350F for 25-40 minutes. Cover it with aluminum foil at the end if it seems to brown too quickly. If you want to take its temperature, the bread will be between 190F and 205F when it's done.
- Remove panettone from oven. After 5 minutes, turn out from pan. Brush with melted butter if desired. Cool completely. Sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving if desired.
