  • Dry Yeast - 1 tblspn
  • Vanilla Essence - 1 tblspn

  • Black Raisins - ½ cup
  • Sultanas / Kishmish - ½ cup
  • Oil for greasing mould and bowl

Instructions

  • Take warm water and milk in a bowl. The temperature should be around 110 degrees. Sprinkle some yeast in it and mix well. Set this aside for a couple of minutes.
  • Now take 1 cup of flour and mix well in this. Leave aside for 30 mins till it gets foamy and risen.
  • Take a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, sugar and vanilla in it and beat well.
  • Add in the yeast mixture in this and mix well.
  • Add sultanas, raisins, tutti fruity in it and mix well.
  • Now add in the flour and keep mixing till you get a sticky dough.
  • Add in the soft butter and mix well. keep mixing till it gets thick and all combined.
  • Grease a huge bowl, transfer this dough into that and cover with a tight lid. Leave this aside for 2 to 3 hours till it gets triple in size.
  • Punch the air out and use more flour to knead the dough.
  • Now grease your panettone mould, transfer the dough in this and cover again and leave aside for 2 more hours till it is triple in size again.
  • Preheat the oven to 180 degree C / 360 degree F before 15 mins of putting the tin in the oven.
  • Bake this for 45-50 mins. Let it cool for 10 mins before removing from the mould.
  • Let it cool down for 30 mins, before slicing.
  • Enjoy with a cup of chai or milk.

Notes

1)The rising time  depends on the temperature of each place. Allow it to rise till it gets triple in size each time.
2)To get perfect slice. Keep the bread in fridge for couple of hours and then slice to get perfect slice. I kept the loaf in fridge overnight and made it into thick slices  for making french toast.
3)You can make this panettone into french toast or puddings.
4)Feel free to use more flour as needed. But don't make the dough so stiff, the dough should be slightly sticky. That sticky dough maked softest bread.
5)Use any dry fruits as you like, cranberries, dates, candied peels, citrus peels can be used.
6) Increase the amount of sugar, if you need the bread to be sweet.
