Count down to Christmas.....with a list of things to bake...


Traditional Panettone


Panettone is a type of sweet bread loaf originally from Milan.
It was baked for Christmas and New Year in Italy and other parts of Europe. 
This specialty loaf is loaded with raisins,sultanas and candied fruits.

Stages of my preparation:

First proofing in a oiled bowl-



Doubled the size; complete proofing-




Second proofing in the panettone mold-




Done proofing: Ready for baking-




When the panettone comes out of the oven, it tends to cave in on itself .So I hang it upside-down for several hours to prevents this.




Before dusting of icing sugar....







Iced and ready to go....








Time for a slice....
