Ingredients:

  • 4 medium eggs
  • 1 and 1/2 cups of warm milk (375 ml)
  • 15 g of dry yeast
  • 180 g of melted butter
  • 1/2 tablespoon of panettone essence (or 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract + 1 tablespoon of orange zest)
  • 1 tablespoon of honey (optional)
  • 770 g of all-purpose flour
  • 200 g of mixed candied fruits and raisins
  • 200 g of chocolate chips
    Note: The measuring cup used is 250 ml, and the molds should weigh about 500 g each.

Preparation Steps:

  1. Start the Batter: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and mix in the warm milk. Add the dry yeast and let it sit for a few minutes until it starts to bubble.
  2. Add Flavors and Sweetness: Mix in the melted butter, panettone essence (or vanilla and orange zest), and honey if using.
  3. Incorporate the Flour: Gradually add the flour to the mixture, stirring continuously until the batter is smooth and homogeneous.
  4. Mix in the Goodies: Divide the batter equally into two. Mix the candied fruits and raisins into one half and the chocolate chips into the other, ensuring the ingredients are well distributed.
  5. Prepare for Baking: Split each of the two portions again, making it easier to fit the batter into the molds. Shape and adjust as needed.
  6. Fill the Molds: Evenly distribute the batter among four greased and floured molds, ensuring a perfect fit in each.
  7. Let It Rise: Allow the batter to rest in a warm place for about 2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
  8. Baking Time: Preheat the oven to 180°C (356°F). Bake the Panettones for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown on top.
  9. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let cool before indulging in these delicious, no-knead homemade Panettones.

Now you have the chance to impress your loved ones with a bountiful homemade Panettone, offering two irresistible varieties. Enjoy the fruits of your labor and the warmth of the season!
