PANETTONE

Panettone or otherwise known as Christmas Loaf, I don`t care if it is the 25th August ....you need to get organised ...it`s nearly Christmas Day .
Prepare an 18 cm round cake pan with cooking spray and baking paper .
Place 300gm of strong plain flour into a large bowl add 2 tbs of castor sugar , 1/2 tsp of dried yeast , 1 tsp of salt and 1 dsp of dried cardamom , stir to combine .
Now add the grated rind of 1 lemon , 1 tsp of vanilla extract , 150 ml of milk  ( your choice ..soy , almond , coconut , rice ) , 2 lightly beaten egg yolks.
Mix all the above together to make a soft dough .
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured bench and knead for 10 minutes ...
Put the dough back into the bowl and cover with cling film and leave to prove in a warm place for 2 hours .....or until doubled in size .
At this point return the dough to a lightly floured bench and knock back the dough  ( knead the dough )
Knead in 55 gm of mixed peel with 115 gm of sultanas .
It is now time to preheat your oven to 150 deg C
Now place the dough into the prepared pan and cover with cling wrap for 2 hours or until doubled in size .
Remove the cling wrap and place in your preheated oven and bake until golden .
Allow to cool for 20 minutes in the pan , then remove to a wire cooling rack to cool completely .So much cheaper than the commercially made Panettone on offer over the Christmas period .
