A classic leavened product of the Holidays

Difficulty level

Ingredients

DOLCE FORNO MAESTRO g 6500
water g 2700
fresh yeast g 40
eggs g 1000
unsalted butter 82% fat g 1500

Preparation

- Start with DOLCE FORNO, brewer’s yeast and water.
- When the dough is formed, add the eggs in several steps until a smooth, well-formed glutinous mesh is formed.
- Finally, insert the butter twice and continue to knead until the dough is elastic and dry at a temperature of 26/28 ºC.
- Leave to rise at 30 ºC for 4,30 hours, or at least until it triples.
WARNING:
-It is advisable to make the "spy", putting 333 g of finished dough in a 1 liter jug to verify the effective triplication.
-If the temperature of the first dough should be above 28 ºC, it will be necessary to reduce the time of the first rising.

Ingredients

Frutta in crema Cesarin - Mandarin To Taste

Preparation

Once completely cooled whip the pandors with Fruit in Cesarin Mandarin Cream.

Final composition

- Do not let it rise and divide in the size of 1050 gr. 
Roll tightly and place in the moulds previously buttered with butter.
- Place relative humidity of 70% at 21 ºC for about 15 hours or until the dome is at the edge. 
- Do not prick the surface before cooking to avoid cracking the dome.
- Bake at 165 ºC for about 50 minutes.
- After baking, check with the help of a thermometer that the heart product has a temperature between 96/98 ºC.
- Let it cool in the moulds for about 2 hours and remove the moulds.
- Leave them to dry for 6 to 7 hours upside down and pack in moplefan bags.

N.B. If you want to make a pandoro with white chocolate and berries, we recommend adding 2500g of Irca white goccioloni and 2500g of Cesarin fruit berries to this dose.
N.B. if you want to make a mandarin pandoro, we recommend adding 1500 g of mandarin cubes to this dose.

WARNINGS
How to Calculate the water temperature in the first dough:
This method is correct if you have a kneader with diving arms, if alternatively you have a spiral kneader, and keeping in mind that the same tends to heat the dough a lot, reduce the water temperature by at least 5 ºC.
In order to obtain the correct final temperature of the dough, let’s assume 26 to C, follow the diagram below. 
It will be necessary to know and then measure 3 values: 
1) the value of the ambient temperature
2) the temperature value of the Dolce Forno
3) the value defined in function of the mixer used (plunger 15, spiral or planetary mixer 20).
CALCULATION: Final Temperature 26 months C x 3 (fixed number) = 78 - value 1 (e.g. 20 years C) - value 2 (e.g. 18 years C) - value 3 (e.g. 15) = 78-20-18-15 = 25 which will be the temperature of the water in the first mixture using a dipper
