Panettone baking success

I have been committed this year to bring my panettone to the next level, and I think I’m almost there. Still much to work on to improve, but I am proud of how far I’ve come. Here is my third bake of the season. Bittersweet chocolate chunks, candied amarena cherries and toasted and chopped hazelnuts.

Hi Charlotte,

Congratulations!! The crumb looks so delectable.  I love the walnut streaking too. Every recipient will certainly know they have gotten a specially crafted work.

Thank you! The streaking is not from walnuts, but from the chocolate melting during the proof—I accidentally left the oven light on and they got way to warm 😁).

They look great Charlotte, well done!

Certainly I know how demanding baking Panettone can be, but then also very rewarding when you get a good result. You should be proud indeed!

Great flavour combinations.

Happy Christmas!

Michael

Thanks so much for your generous comments! It’s so nice to get encouragement from the expert bakers on the forum! The learning process is a lot of fun, regardless of the outcome; but it’s more fun when one sees progress.
