Gather Your Ingredients

Before beginning your baking adventure, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 panettone mix or ingredient list to make it from scratch
  • 1 cup of assorted dried fruit (raisins, apricots, candied citrus peel)
  • 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (almonds, hazelnuts, or pecans)
  • 1/4 cup of orange liqueur or rum (optional)
  • 1 cup of chocolate chips or chunks
  • 1/4 cup of butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup of sugar
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • A pinch of salt

Prepare the Dough

If you’re using a panettone mix, follow the instructions on the package to prepare your dough. If you prefer to make it from scratch, combine the necessary ingredients and follow this simple procedure:

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt.
  2. Add the melted butter, vanilla extract, and warm milk to the dry ingredients.
  3. Knead the dough until it becomes soft and elastic. You can use an electric mixer with a dough hook attachment, or do it by hand.
  4. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

Add the Delicious Fillings

Once your dough has risen, it’s time to incorporate the yummy fillings. Here’s how:

  1. Place the dough on a floured surface and gently flatten it with your hands.
  2. Sprinkle the dried fruit, nuts, and chocolate chips evenly over the dough.
  3. Drizzle the orange liqueur or rum over the fillings for an extra kick of flavor. Don’t worry if you prefer a non-alcoholic version; it still tastes fantastic without it!
  4. Starting from one side, roll the dough into a log shape, making sure to seal the ends.

Bake and Enjoy

Now that your panettone is ready to go, it’s time to bake it to perfection:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the stuffed panettone into a greased and floured pan, or use a decorative panettone mold if you have one.
  3. Bake for approximately 45-50 minutes, or until the panettone turns golden brown.
  4. Remove the panettone from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.
  5. Once completely cooled, dust the top with powdered sugar for an elegant finishing touch.

Voila! Your homemade stuffed panettone is now ready to be served. Slice it up and savor every bite of this delectable Italian treat. It pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee or a glass of dessert wine. Enjoy your culinary masterpiece and spread the holiday cheer!
