Recipe type: Dessert
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 8 slices
Ingredients
  • cooking spray
  • 1 small packet (1 tablespoon) of active dry yeast
  • ⅓ cup lukewarm water
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 3 cups flour (and maybe up to ½ cup more to flour the surface when you knead the bread)
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Stir the lukewarm water and the yeast together until the yeast dissolves in the water.
  2. Once dissolved, add the sugar, the eggs, and the vanilla, and whisk until fully mixed.
  3. Add three cups of flour to the yeast mixture, and stir together until all the ingredients are fully incorporated. Be sure to scrape the sides to get all the ingredients fully mixed.
  4. Flour your surface (or mixing bowl if using your bread hook), and knead the dough for 3-5 minutes.
  5. Spray a medium bowl with cooking spray, and place dough in bowl. Cover with towel, and place in a dark, room-temperature, or even slightly warm place. Let dough rise for 45 minutes.
  6. After 45 minutes, remove the bread and add chocolate chips and dried cranberries. Knead these into the dough for 3-5 minutes. You may need to add a bit of flour to the surface or bowl for this second knead.
  7. Place dough in sprayed paper panettone mold, and cover with a towel. Let dough rise for 4 hours.
  8. Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and place risen panettone in the mold in the oven.
  9. Bake for 30 minutes, keeping an eye on the top. I like my top a bit brown, but if you find the top browning fast, you can cover with foil.
  10. Cool, slice, and enjoy!
