Who doesn't like bread? let alone warm from the oven! Baking breads is one of my favorite things to do. Some people think it's so much work but, I find it relaxing and rewarding. So many friends ask me why I don't use a bread machine but, I love the feel of the dough in my hands.
One of my husbands and family favorite bread is Panettone!! The real Panettone with the sweet dried fruit and buttery flavor. Panetone is a very expensive bread to purchase, especially if your buying the kind made with all the best and freshest ingredients. One large loaf can cost you an excess 0f 14.00 or more depending where you buy it. I found if you purchase the ingredients yourself, you save a bundle, have more than one loaf, and have fun making it. Panettone also makes the best toast and french toast you'll ever have.
Here's what you'll need:
3 tablespoons SAF yeast
1/3 cup luke warm water
1/4 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon good Vanilla
1teaspoon buttery extract
1 cup European dried fruit
3 large eggs beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
2 1/2- 3 cups sifted flour
In large bowl put yeast, salt, sugar, water, and mix. Add beaten eggs, vanilla, buttery extract, and lemon zest and mix well.
Add 1 cup of flour at a time till you have a nice soft dough, you can always add or use less flour where needed. If you are using a mixer you can add your dried fruit, or put dough on floured board and knead in fruit. Place in well greased bowl and let double in size, punch down , shape in a ball and put in well greased 2 qt baking dish, cover and let double.
Bake in a pre- heated 350 degree oven for about 30 minutes. After 15 minutes if bread seems to brown too quickly, cover with foil.
Once you make this once, you'll find it's so easy to make. It makes your kitchen smell like heaven! Enjoy!
