In Italy, Christmas and New Year’s would be incomplete without a panettone on the table. One Italian legend traces the bread’s origins to a poor baker named Tonio. Crescent Rings. Two days in the making, this delicate, vanilla-scented bread reveals bites of plump organic Flame raisins and house-candied organic citrus. Every domed loaf is.

Overnight Panettone Recipe King Arthur Flour It seems like a great recipe, but I had an extreme amount of trouble with the rise. I made the starter, and let it sit all night on top of my fridge. I even cranked the heat in the house. However, I awoke to find it had barely changed from what looked like a very small amount of fairly dry dough. It didn't look spongy or bubbly. Nevertheless, I went ahead and mixed all the dough ingredients and waited for the prescribed time for that second rise. It didn't work - again, it barely grew or changed.

Despite the fact I used the exact measurements/ingredients listed in the recipe, it failed and I didn't even bake the first one because I didn't want to have to procure the dried fruit and peel all over again. So I decided to call your help line. I spoke with Michaela (not sure of the spelling), and she gave me a few great tips. Fluff up the flour in the bag, then spoon it into the measuring cup, since I don't have a scale. She said I might have put too much flour in the first time.

Panettone (pronounced / ˌ p æ n ɪ ˈ t oʊ n i /; Italian: [panetˈtoːne]) is an Italian type of sweet bread loaf originally from Milan (in Milanese dialect of. Panettone is a delicious holiday fruitcake that is traditionally rather labor intensive -- it requires several days of fermentation to develop the flavor.

Boil a cup of water in the microwave, and then put the starter/dough in there to rise in a warm, moist environment. I had used Fleischmann's Rapid Rise instant yeast. Apparently, this is not the thing to use. She said either use active dry (letting the yeast mix with the water and sitting for 5- 8minutes) or use instant yeast. So I went back to the store and bought different yeast, determined to try again with all these awesome new tips. I made a new starter using lukewarm water with Red Star active dry yeast, letting the two sit together for 8 minutes before adding them to the flour. I then let my new starter sit for 8 hours in the microwave after boiling some water in there.

When I took it out, it did look much more moist and slightly larger than my earlier starter. So I proceeded to add all the other ingredients as listed to make the dough, excepting the fruit/peel, and once again used the microwave trick to create a better environment than sitting on top of the fridge. After an hour and a half, it looked about the same.

No perceptible change in height, etc. Determined to make a go of it, and feeling pretty tired from all of this, I added the fruit and peel to the dough and mixed and kneaded for a good long while, and it formed a sticky dough that was fairly smooth. I placed it into a 7" mold I bought from Sur La Table, and put it in a large springform pan in the oven to bake. I followed the directions for stepping down the temperature, but in the end, my baked panettone only filled up about 2/3 of the mold. I had to bake it longer than recommended, too. I added about another 2. F. I am frustrated as to why it didn't rise.
