Panettone – a festive Italian bread

topcook.tomathouse.com

Preparation:

Place the dry Festive Panettone mix (see recipe below) in a bowl. Heat 1 cup whole milk, 110g butter, 1/4 cup honey, and 2 tablespoons grated lemon zest in a saucepan to 115°F (48°C); stir. Stir in 2 lightly beaten eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract; cover and let rise until doubled in size, about 1 hour. Butter two 5x9-inch loaf pans or two empty 200ml coffee cans and line with parchment paper. Add the dough, cover, and let rise for another 1 hour. Bake at 350°F (175°C) until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 55 minutes. Cool and slice.

Note
If you're giving this mixture to a nut lover, substitute 1/4 cup toasted pine nuts for some of the dried fruit.
