1. In a small bowl, combine the raisins with the rum and 2 tablespoons of hot water. Allow to soak at room temperature, stirring occasionally, until the raisins are plump and most of the liquid has been absorbed, at least 8 hours or overnight.
2. In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, mix together the flour, sugar, yeast, salt, lemon zest and vanilla bean on low speed until combined. In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, tepid water and honey. With the mixer on low speed, pour the egg mixture into the flour mixture. Increase the speed to medium-low and mix until all of the ingredients are combined. Add the softened butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until incorporated before adding more. Increase the speed to medium-high and beat until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
3. Drain the raisins, discard the soaking liquid, and stir together with the candied citron and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Stir this mixture into the dough with a wooden spoon.
4. Place the dough in a large bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise in a cold oven with the door closed until it has nearly tripled in volume, 12 to 15 hours.

Combine 1/2 cup flour and next 6 ingredients (1/2 cup flour through egg yolk) in a large bowl; beat at medium speed of a mixer 1 minute or until smooth. Add yeast mixture and 1/2 cup flour; beat 1 minute. Stir in marinated fruit, 2 1/2 cups flour, and pine nuts. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.

Panettone Recipe (Italian Christmas Bread) Cooking …

WEBDec 29, 2023 · Make the panettone starter by stirring bread flour, yeast and cool water until combined. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Soak the …

1. Make the starter the night before you want to bake the panettone. Add your starter ingredients to the bowl of a stand mixer or a medium mixing bowl. Stir with a spoon to combine. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and a towel and let it sit at room temperature overnight (8-12 hours).
2. Soak your raisins overnight at room temperature by adding them to a small bowl with the rum and covering them. See notes.
3. The next day, make your dough by adding your dough ingredients (not the raisins and zest yet) to the bowl with the starter. For the flour, start with 2 1/2 cups and add the rest of your dough ingredients.
4. Using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer, mix the dough for about 30 seconds. Switch to the dough hook attachment and knead the dough for 15 minutes (I use speed 2 on my KitchenAid.) After a few minutes of kneading, if the dough isn't coming together, add 1/4 cup of flour, scrape the bowl and hook, and knead some more. The dough will be sticky and won't completely clear the sides of the bowl. It's okay if there's still a 3-inch circle of dough sticking to the bottom of the bowl.
