Panettone

11 Comments / Uncategorized, Bread / By

In Italy, the very notion of a “quick” panettone is a contradiction. The soul of the traditional Milanese Christmas bread is its Lievito Madre—a mild, natural starter that demands time, patience, and care. This cherished ingredient is what gives authentic panettone its unparalleled texture and remarkable shelf-life. For the purists and the ambitious bakers ready to embrace this fantastic leaven, I invite you to dive into my newly released, meticulously crafted Panettone Milanese recipe. For those seeking a welcome shortcut during the hectic holiday season, this quick panettone recipe is your answer. It swaps the natural starter for commercial yeast, and taste-wise, the two are surprisingly close. The true difference lies in the crumb: the Lievito Madre creates a texture that is far superior and extends the bread’s life from a mere three days to an incredible three weeks. So now you have two paths to the perfect holiday table: one of tradition, and one of convenience. Whichever you choose, I will show you all the secrets you need to know to achieve a magnificent panettone. Happy holidays

With its smooth and creamy texture and the perfect balance of warm spices, this pie is a true masterpiece that will impress your guests and leave them begging for seconds.

Some are better suited for carving, while others, like the Sugar Pie Pumpkin and Honeynut Squash, are perfect for turning into delicious pies.

The natural sweetness and rich flavor of a freshly roasted pumpkin elevates the taste of the pie to a whole new level. But here’s a tip for you: always roast more pumpkin than you need for the pie. Why? Because leftover pumpkin meat is incredibly versatile and can be used in a variety of dishes. Whether you want to whip up a savory side dish, a comforting soup, or a nutritious smoothie, having some roasted pumpkin in your freezer will always come in handy.
