INGREDIENTS
- strong bread flour 300 gr
- plain flour 200 gr
- dry yeast 10 gr
- caster sugar 50 gr
- salt 1 teaspoon
- soy milk 320 ml
- vanilla 1 tablespoon
- vegan butter or margarine (room temperature) 200 gr
- chocolate chips 200 gr
- lemon zest 1 pieces
- orange zest 1 pieces
STEPS
- Place the bread flour and plain flour in a mixer with a dough hook and zest the lemon and orange on top
- Add the milk to a pan and warm it up slightly (it should be between 30-50°C not higher or your yeast will die)
- Add the sugar, vanilla and milk (add the liquor here if using) to a container and combine then sprinkle the yeast on top
- Stir and set aside to bubble for 1 minute
- Start the mixer and add the milk mix gradually
- Knead until it forms a smooth dough
- Add the butter gradually and mix until it is fully combined then let it knead for a good 5-10 minutes or until it comes cleanly off the sides of the bowl and you can stretch a gluten window in it
- Let the dough rise in warm, humid place for 1h – 1h30 or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and add the chocolate flakes and the zest.
- Knead until fully combined and add to a greased panettone
- Cover it then leave to rise again until doubled in size. (about 1h30 – 2h)
- Preheat the oven to 180°C
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, don’t hesitate to leave in the oven a bit longer if it doesn’t look golden all over, you’re better off slightly overtaking than risking underbaking
- Once out of the oven leave to cool for 10-15 minutes and then take out of the tin.
Extras:
Instead of chocolate flakes, you can add raisins and sultanas.
Add powder sugar on top or almond flakes, for a snowy look and extra sweetness!
Buon appetito!
