Calculation basis

Item weights and household measures are estimated. Unless specified: milk with 1.5% fat, cream with 30% fat and Gouda cheese. Optional ingredients, small amounts of seasoning and separately listed side dishes are excluded. For imprecise entries, the amounts below and comparable reference products are assumed. For alternatives, the first listed ingredient is used. Cooking losses have not been measured.

Calculated estimate using the reference foods below. Substitute products, item weights and consumed fractions are assumptions. Ordinary cooking oil and marinades are counted in full; frying oil, coatings, bones and whole roasts use the stated factors. The higher serving count is used for ranges. Actual product values and cooking losses have not been measured.

Ingredients

  • 500 g flour
  • 200 ml milk
  • 20g yeast
  • 120 g sugar
  • 140g butter
  • 3 eggs
  • 150 g raisins
  • 100 g candied orange peel

Instructions

  1. Heat the milk to lukewarm and dissolve the yeast in it. Knead with flour, sugar and eggs; Work in soft butter in portions until an elastic, soft dough forms.
  2. Cover and let rise for about 90-120 minutes until the volume has increased significantly. Carefully incorporate raisins and candied orange peel.
  3. Place in a suitable tall panettone mold. Let rise for another 60-90 minutes; Judge the doneness by the volume of the dough and not just by the clock.
  4. Bake at 175 °C top/bottom heat for 45-55 minutes; Cover early browning and check for raw dough with a wooden stick.
  5. Let cool on a rack for at least 2 hours. This yeast version is expressly a simplified home version, not a traditional multi-day sourdough panettone.

Tips

  • Check the specified cooking using the result described; Time alone is not a safe test.
