Step-by-step

Combine yeast, water, and sugar in a medium bowl. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes, or until foamy.

Add eggs, yogurt, vanilla, lemon zest, and salt. Mix well.

Stir in flour 1/2 cup at a time until dough forms into a manageable ball. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 to 10 minutes, adding flour as necessary, until dough is soft and pliable, but not sticky. (May need up to 5 cups flour.)

Place dough in a large, lightly pan-sprayed bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and spray a round 8-inch cake pan with non-stick spray.

In a small bowl, toss dried fruit with confectioners' sugar.

Punch down dough in bowl, transfer to floured surface, and knead in the fruit.

Form dough into a ball, place in prepared cake pan, cover loosely with dish towel, and let rise for 30 minutes. (Loaf will rise above the pan sides.) Brush with melted butter, if desired.

Bake for 45 minutes, or until loaf is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Last week, I had the pleasure of baking a traditional Italian Christmas bread called panettone. This sweet and decadent bread is made with a rich dough that is enriched with eggs, sugar, butter, and candied fruit. The dough is then proofed twice and baked until golden brown.

Panettone is a beautiful bread that is perfect for any special occasion. It is often served as a dessert or breakfast bread. The bread is also a popular gift during the Christmas season.

If you are looking for a delicious and festive bread to bake, I highly recommend trying panettone. The bread is relatively easy to make and it is sure to impress your family and friends.

Here are some tips for making panettone:

Use high-quality ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will have a big impact on the flavor of your bread.

Be patient. Panettone takes time to make. Allow the dough to rise twice before baking.

Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the bread tough.

Bake the bread until it is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center of the bread should come out clean.

I hope you enjoy this recipe for panettone!
