This years attemp No 1 - hanging upside down to cool.



I'll taste and show in the morning

Why is it upside down? And where do you get the papers from?

[mumofstig]

They are supposed to be so light and airy that they sink down if you don't cool them upside down - I doubt mine ever will be, but I'm trying  lol.

I got 10 papers from Bakery Bits a few years ago, I'll need more for next year.

they also sell Fiori di Sicilia Oil or Aroma Panettone Oil for flavouring, plus lots of other baking goodies........

Thank you, that looks an addictive website

I saw a nice panettoni recipe made up like a summer pud but filled with racotta , chocolate , sugar ,and the bread was sprinkled with a sweet wine it looked nice then he sprinkled it with coco powder,  it was italian

A recipe to use it up, rather than to make it, then.........

I eat it all up - it's soooo lovely toasted

Yes leftover panettoni is a rare beast in my house as well   

[mumofstig]

A late update, the panettone tasted ok, but not a good texture 

For the day itself I made these

Flavour wise I used the Bakery Bits' Fiori di Sicilia instead of the spiced rum, and they were absolutely gorgeous.
So I'm giving up trying to make a big one - I'll make the buns every year, instead 

[New shoot]

They look fab   

I like the way the recipe starts  'Like panettone but couldn't a whole one'  - yes, but no trouble eating a whole one    and I could eat a whole tray of those buns as well
