If you follow me on Instagram, you saw a picture of a failed attempt to make a decent panettone… I am not 100% happy with the look of this either, but I liked the taste and I decided to publish the recipe anyway 🙂
The panettone dough requires lots of time and work, but I wanted to find an easier way of doing it by using my breadmaker (Panasonic SD 2500). Although there is a special programme for the panettone (baking included), I have decided to use the breadmaker for the dough only (knead and rise phases), and to bake it in the oven in a proper Panettone mould, bought on Amazon (Panettone Mould 500gr).
After the fifth attempt, I called it a day and hope to be more successful in 2020!

Instructions
-
Place all the ingredients in the bread pan following the order of the list of ingredients (milk, eggs - beaten, butter, flour, sugar, yeast, and salt). Select the dough programme 21 (brioche dough) and press Start. This first part of the programme will last 55 minutes.
-
In the meantime, peel the zest from 2 oranges and boil them in a saucepan for 1 minute. Remove the zest from the water and finely chop them. Soak the raisins in cold water for 20 minutes, then drain very well.
-
After 55 minutes, the breadmaker will beep to indicate you can add the additional ingredients, i.e. butter (cubed and cold), raisins, and orange zest. Press Start.
-
Once the second part of the programme is concluded (the breadmaker will beep 8 times to indicate the end of the programme), remove the bread pan from the breadmaker machine and transfer the dough into a Panettone mould of 500gr. Place the mould onto a baking tray first.
-
Bake the Panettone in a preheated oven at 190C for 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature at 170C and bake for another 35-40 minutes.
-
Once cooled down, dust the Panettone with some icing sugar.
Well, I have to say that I tasted the first “attempts” and still enjoyed them all! Stella indeed aims for perfection… 😛
I aim for excellence! 🙂 And that’s because I know my customer number one and he can be very picky! 🙂
