• 100 g raisins
• 40 g candied orange peel
• 40 g candied lemon peel
• 2 tbsp rum
• 40 g pine nuts
• 0.5 cube Yeast
• 200 ml milk (lukewarm)

Instructions

1. 1.

   Finely chop the candied lemon and orange peels, soak them with the raisins in rum. Put all dough ingredients into a bowl and knead well together, cover with a cloth and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until the volume has doubled. Knead the soaked fruits and pine nuts into the dough, divide the dough into two portions and put into well-greased pans, let rise again for about 20 minutes.

2. 2.

   Place the panettone in a cold oven, bake on the second rack from below at 160°C fan-forced for about 50-60 minutes. After 15-20 minutes of baking brush the surfaces with a little butter and finish baking. Release from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
