Quick Christmas Panettone

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 0.25 cup sugar
• 4 tbsp butter
• 10 g yeast
• salt (A pinch)
• 250 ml water
• 1 lemon zest (Zest of one lemon)
• 500 g flour (Sifted)
• 100 g dried cranberries or raisins (Choose cranberries or raisins)
• 150 g candied mixed fruit
• mixed fruit (Some, for sprinkling on top)

Steps

1. 1

   Add the eggs, sugar, butter, yeast, a pinch of salt, water, and lemon zest to the Thermomix bowl.

2. 2

   Insert the butterfly whisk, cover the bowl, and mix at speed 2 for 3 minutes.

3. 3

   Remove the butterfly whisk. The mixture may look loose at this point.

4. 4

   Add the sifted flour to the bowl.

5. 5

   Cover and mix at speed 3 for 1 minute. The mixture may not be fully mixed yet; the source indicates this is all right.

6. 6

   Knead for 3 minutes at 37°C, until the dough is smooth and shiny.

7. 7

   Add the dried cranberries or raisins and the candied mixed fruit.

8. 8

   Cover and knead for 3 minutes at 37°C.

9. 9

   Transfer the dough to a large bowl, cover it, and let it proof until doubled in size, typically 30–40 minutes.

10. 10

    Divide the dough between two panettone molds. Weighing is not necessary; the source says each portion will be about 610 g.

11. 11

    Use a spoon to push the dough toward the sides of each mold so it fills them.

12. 12

    Sprinkle some mixed fruit over the dough.

13. 13

    Cover the molds and let the dough rest for 30 minutes, until puffed up.

14. 14

    Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C for 40–50 minutes.

Notes

The source shows the process on a Thermomix and uses two panettone molds. It does not specify an amount for the fruit sprinkled on top. The stated dough portion is about 610 g per mold.
