Instructions for Panettone Recipe
    Activate the Yeast:
  1. 1
    In a small bowl, combine warm milk, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and yeast. Let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.
    2. Prepare the Dough:
  2. 2
    In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, combine flour, remaining sugar, and salt.
  3. 3
    Add the yeast mixture, eggs, egg yolk, softened butter, vanilla extract, and lemon and orange zest.
  4. 4
    Mix on low speed until combined, then increase to medium and knead for 10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
    5. Incorporate Fruits and Nuts:
  5. 5
    Add candied fruits, raisins, chopped almonds, and dark chocolate (if using). Knead the dough until the fruits and nuts are evenly distributed.
    6. First Rise:
  6. 6
    Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let it rise in a warm place for 2 hours, or until doubled in size.
    7. Shape and Second Rise:
  7. 7
    Punch down the dough and transfer it to a Panettone mold or a large, deep cake pan lined with parchment paper.
  8. 8
    Shape the dough into a round loaf and make a cross-shaped cut on top.
  9. 9
    Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let it rise again in a warm place for 2 hours, or until doubled in size. Alternatively, refrigerate overnight for a slow rise.
    10. Bake the Panettone:
  10. 10
    Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
  11. 11
    Brush the top of the Panettone with beaten egg for a golden finish.
  12. 12
    Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  13. 13
    If the top is browning too quickly, cover loosely with foil halfway through baking.
    14. Cooling:
  14. 14
    Remove from the oven and let it cool in the mold for 10 minutes.
  15. 15
    Transfer to a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing.
