'PANETTONE FESTIVE CAKE'
This Panettone really is "heaven on earth!!" So light in texture and really addictive!! The preparation time I have given does not include the time it takes for the dough to rise - (this usually takes about 1 1/4 hours in total). To make the Panettone an outstanding centrepiece on a table, put the dough (all of it) into a well greased ceramic lift-out centre of a slow cooker, such as a Crock-Pot and make sure the basin is well greased around the top. It will need a slightly longer 'proving' time doing it this way -you will need to stand it in a warm place (using the large basin), for about 45 minutes or even a little longer, until the dough doubles in size.

Steps:
- Combine the sultanas (light raisins), finely chopped glace pineapple, chopped mixed peel, and rum.
- Allow to stand for about 1/2 an hour.
- Combine the yeast, sugar and lukewarm water in a small bowl, and mix well.
- Allow to stand in a warm place for about 5 minutes or until frothy.
- Beat the eggs, and EXTRA yolks lightly.
- Add the EXTRA sugar, and beat until combined.
- Sift the flour and salt into a large bowl.
- Add the grated lemon rind, butter and oil.
- Stir in the egg mixture and lukewarm milk.
- THEN add the yeast mixture AND the UNdrained fruit mixture.
- Beat the dough quickly and vigorously with a wooden spoon, for about 5 minutes, by which time the dough should be all'elasticy', leaving the sides of the bowl.
- (it's hard work doing this, but well worth it!!) Now cover the bowl and allow to stand in a warm place for about 3/4 of an hour, or until the dough has doubled in size.
- Turn the dough out onto a well floured surface and knead lightly.
- Cut dough in 1/2 and knead each 1/2 for 3-5 minutes- or until the dough loses it's'stickiness'.
- Place each 1/2 in a well greased 8 cup pudding basin.
- Cover both basins and allow to stand in a warm place for 20-30 minutes- or until both halves have doubled in bulk/size.
- Brush the tops of each'Panettone' with the EXTRA egg, lightly beaten.
- Bake in moderately hot oven (220-230'C) for 15 minutes, then reduce the oven heat to'moderate' and cook for a further 30-35 minutes.
- Remove from oven and immediately turn out onto a wire rack to cool.
- Dust the tops with sifted icing sugar!
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients, especially for the flour, butter, and eggs.
- Make sure all of your ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking.
- Proof the yeast correctly. If the yeast is not activated properly, the panettone will not rise properly.
- Knead the dough well. This will help to develop the gluten in the flour and give the panettone a light and airy texture.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place until it has doubled in size. This will take about 1 hour.
- Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a greased panettone mold. Let the dough rise again until it has reached the top of the mold. This will take about 1 hour.
- Bake the panettone in a preheated oven until it is golden brown. This will take about 45 minutes.
- Let the panettone cool completely before serving.
Conclusion:
Panettone is a delicious and festive bread that is perfect for any occasion. With a little care and attention, you can make panettone at home that is just as good as anything you can buy from a bakery. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give panettone a try.
