So every year for Christmas since we have been married we have had Panettone for Christmas following the Italian tradition. When Panera stopped making it I decided to try my hand at it. I have been making it for 4 years now and I think I finally have something I would call passable! You use a sourdough starter which is the whole reason I have one in the first place! A whole year of feeding it for this one glorious day!
It takes about two weeks and when you start it looks like this...pretty unassuming I know!
two days before baking it looks something like this...
Day of baking, look at that great gluten development!
It rises for about half a day and then into the oven it goes Christmas Eve!
Don't they look great!!!
Our Christmas morning treat!!
If you want to learn how I use this great blog, she is super detailed and has great visuals.
