🍞Natural sourdough starter or 10g dried yeast

🥚6 egg yolks

Method

Serves 2

Make a first dough of flour, starter, sugar, yolks and butter and leave it to rise until tripled, often overnight.

Add the rest of the flour, yolks, sugar, honey, zest and vanilla, then knead in the butter until silky and elastic.

Work in the soaked raisins and candied peel, then shape into a ball and place in a tall paper mould.

Leave to rise until the dough reaches the top of the mould, then cut a cross in the top and add a knob of butter.

Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 50 minutes, then hang upside down to cool so it keeps its height.

✓ What Makes it Authentic

Panettone is Milan's Christmas bread; true versions are made with natural sourdough starter over two to three days of rising.
