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
- 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.
- Cover and let rise for about 90-120 minutes until the volume has increased significantly. Carefully incorporate raisins and candied orange peel.
- 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.
- Bake at 175 °C top/bottom heat for 45-55 minutes; Cover early browning and check for raw dough with a wooden stick.
- 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.
