Ingredients
  • Biga (Overnight Starter):
  • 3/4 cup unbleached All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/16 teaspoon yeast (just a pinch)
  • 1/3 cup water
  • Dough:
  • all of the biga (above)
  • 2 1/4 cups unbleached All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Fiori di Sicilia flavoring OR 1 teaspoon vanilla + 1/8 teaspoon orange oil
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons Fermipan Brown yeast (special for sweet breads) OR 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup golden raisins
  • 1/2 cup slivered dried apricots
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries or flavored fruit bits
  • 1/2 cup dried pineapple, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons orange or lemon zest

Directions
  1. Biga:
  2. Combine the biga ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl, cover, and allow them to rest overnight (8 to 12 hours).
  3. Dough:
  4. Combine all of the dough ingredients except the fruit, and mix and knead them together -- by hand, mixer or bread machine -- till you've made a soft, smooth dough. Allow the dough to rise, covered, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until it's puffy (though not necessarily doubled in bulk). Gently deflate the dough, and knead in the fruits and zest.
  5. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a panettone pan or other straight-sided, tall 1 1/2- to 2-quart pan. Cover the pan and let the dough rise till it's just crested over the rim of the pan, about 1 hour.
  6. Bake the bread in a preheated 400°F oven for 10 minutes; reduce the oven heat to 375°F and bake an additional 10 minutes; then reduce the heat to 350°F and bake for 25 minutes, tenting with aluminum foil if the crust appears to be browning too quickly. Remove the panettone from the oven and cool completely.

I really like panettone. It's kind of like a very light fruit cake. Mostly dough and lightly sweet. Really good with coffe. This recipe sounds great and is not complicated.
