Recipe for mini Panettone – Italian yeasted sweet bread recipe with rum soaked dry fruits and nuts. Recipe with step by step pictures.

A friend on twitter mentioned yesterday that Christmas time is not about the festival but its about the feeling. @SolitaryReaper_ கிறிஸ்துமஸ்லாம் ஒரு பண்டிகையே கிடையாது தெரியுமா? அது ஒரு மனநிலை…💃💃🎉🎉 I could not agree more. The best time of the year. I baked mini panettones today. I adapted the recipe from here. It is an old Martha Stewart living christmas episode that I had bookmarked a long time ago. I have adapted this recipe to suit my Indian kitchen.

Here is how to do Panettone.
Soak the dry fruits in rum for a day. I have used candied papaya, candied pineapple, golden raisins and some orange peels. The fruits you use are more of a personal choice. Use whatever you like. Candied fruits can be bought from dry fruit stores or online.

To the rum soaked dry fruits, add in the zest of one lime and one orange. Add in the nuts. I added pistachios and shelled sunflower seeds. Mix well and set aside.

This recipe is best done on a stand mixer as its a very sticky dough. Take the bowl of a stand mixer and add in the milk, eggs, sugar, salt, saffron and the yeast. Mix well and set aside for five minutes. Let the yeast dissolve.

Add in the maida (all purpose flour) to the yeast mixture. You will need around 400 – 450 grams of flour. First add in the 400 grams of flour and if need be add in the extra while kneading.

Knead the dough on low speed for 10 minutes.

Add in the butter and knead for another couple of minutes till the butter is well incorporated.

It is a very sticky dough. Use a silicone spatula to release the sides of the dough.

The dough will be sticky and tacky. But will still be pliable to work with. The bread is well kneaded and ready to go if it passes the windowpane test.

Set the dough aside on a bowl. Cover the dough with a plastic wrap.

Let the dough rise until doubled. Based on where you live, this may take anywhere between one hour to two hours. If the place where you live is cold, it will take long. Once the dough is doubled, remove the dough onto a flat surface.

Mix in the dry fruits. Start kneading.

Gently form dough balls and place it in panettone moulds. You may buy them online here. You can also use muffin cups.

Let the dough rise for one last time in the moulds. Once the dough is doubled, make a cross on the top of the dough with a sharp knife / blade.

Bake the bread in a 180C / 350F preheated oven for 20 – 25 minutes. Once the bread is out of the oven, brush the top with melted butter.

    Looks absolutely delicious and cannot wait to try, Suguna. Is there a non-alcoholic substitute for rum, I could use in this recipe?
