Panettone Recipe
2 packages active dry yeast
1 cup hot water (105 to 115� F.)
4 1/2 cups flour
1/2 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons grated orange zest
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup chopped citron
1/4 cup dark raisins
1 tablespoon melted butter
Bake these cakes in greased one-pound coffee cans.
In a large bowl, sprinkle yeast over water. Let sit 5 minutes to dissolve.
Vigorously stir in 1 cup of flour. Cover, and let rise about one hour or until
doubled in size.
In a bowl, beat butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs,
one at a time, then zests and salt.
Stir yeast mixture into egg mixture, and beat in remaining flour and fruit.
Place dough in a large greased bowl, and turn to grease top. Cover and let rise
in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours.
Punch down dough, and divide into two pieces. Place each piece in a coffee can,
cover cans with plastic wrap and allow to rise about 30 minutes, or until dough
rises over tops of cans.
Meanwhile, preheat oven to 350� F.
Brush tops of loaves with melted butter, and bake 30 to 40 minutes, or until
brown, and loaves sound hollow when tapped.
Cool on wire racks.
Makes 2 panettones.
