Ingredients
DOLCE FORNO | g 3500 |
egg yolk - room temperature | g 1250 |
unsalted butter 82% fat - soft | g 1700 |
caster sugar | g 700 |
water - room temperature | g 800 |
honey | g 350 |
salt | g 110 |
raisins | g 3000 |
candied orange peel cubes | g 2500 |
Preparation
-The following morning the dough should be quadrupled and slightly rounded.
-Add the required quantities of DOLCE FORNO MAESTRO, water to the evening dough and knead for 5-10 minutes.
-Once the ingredients have been absorbed, add the sugar, salt, a part of the egg yolk and continue kneading.
-Then add the remaining egg yolk twice.
-Separately create the mixture of soft butter, honey, orange paste and vanilla and incorporate it into the paste 4 times.
-Check that the temperature of the dough is 26-28°C. If the temperature is lower, it is advisable to slightly heat the candied fruit and sultanas on a baking tray by placing them in the oven for 1-2 minutes.
-Gently incorporate the sultanas and candied fruit.
-Place the dough to proof in the leavening cell at 28-30°C for 60-70 minutes.
- Divide the dough into the desired sizes, then roll up and place on baking trays or boards and leave to rest for another 20 minutes at 28-30°C.
-Roll up again and place in the appropriate paper moulds.
-Place in a leavening cell at 28-30°C with relative humidity of approximately 60-70% for 4-5 hours, until the top of the dough reaches approximately 1 cm from the mould; if the cell does not have a humidifier, keep the panettone covered with plastic sheets.
-After leavening, leave the panettone exposed to the ambient air for 20-25 minutes so that a skin forms on the surface.
-With a sharp knife, make two superficial incisions forming a cross (the cuts to be made on the surface of the panettone must not be too deep and are necessary to give the finished product its characteristic and traditional shape).
-Cut the four edges under the skin and insert a small knob of cold butter in the center of the panettone.
-Cook at 165-185°C for variable times depending on the weight (about 35-40 minutes for 500 gram panettone, 50-60 minutes for 1000 gram panettone), until reaching 92-94°C at the core.
-Upon exiting the oven, turn the panettone upside down, using the appropriate panettone turners.
- Freshly baked panettone must be left to cool upside down for 8-10 hours before packaging in moplefan bags.
