    Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    4 1/2      teaspoons  dry yeast -- (2 pkgs)
    1 1/4           cups  warm water -- 100 - 110 deg
    5 3/4           cups  all-purpose flour -- divided
       3/4           cup  sugar
    7        tablespoons  butter
    1         tablespoon  orange rind -- fresh, finely chopped
       1/2      teaspoon  salt
    2              large  eggs
    2 1/2           cups  sweetened dried cranberries
       1/4           cup  crystallized ginger -- finely chopped
                          cooking spray
    2        tablespoons  sliced almonds

Dissolve yeast in water in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Lightly 
spoon 1 1/4 cups flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. 
Add to yeast mixture, stirring with a whisk to combine. Cover; let 
rise in a warm place (85F), free from drafts, 1 hour.

Combine sugar, butter, rind, and salt in a large bowl; beat with a 
heavy-duty stand mixer at medium speed until light and fluffy (about 
3 minutes). Add eggs, beating until combined; beat in yeast mixture. 
Lightly spoon 4 cups flour into dry measuring cups; level with a 
knife. Add 4 cups flour to egg mixture, beating at medium speed until 
smooth. Turn dough out onto a floured surface. Knead until smooth and 
elastic (about 3 minutes); add enough of remaining flour, 1 
tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough 
will feel sticky). Knead in cranberries and ginger until well incorporated.

Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to 
coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85F), free from drafts, 
1 hour or until doubled in size. (Gently press two fingers into 
dough. If indentation remains, dough has risen enough.

Coat 6 (1-cup) muffin cups with cooking spray. Cut 6 (5 x 12-inch) 
strips of parchment paper; place paper in muffin cups to extend 3 
inches from the top of the muffin cups. Divide dough evenly among the 
muffin cups. Lightly spray each muffin with cooking spray; sprinkle 
evenly with nuts. Let rise in a warm place (85F), free from drafts, 1 
hour or until doubled in size.

While muffins rise, preheat the oven to 375F.

After muffins have doubled in size, bake at 375F for 25 minutes or 
until muffins are lightly browned.

Yield 24 servings (serving size: 1/4 muffin)

NOTES : This classic Italian holiday sweet bread is a cross between a 
coffee cake and dessert that is now served year-round the world over. 
Lining the muffin cups with strips of parchment makes it easy to 
remove the panettones after baking. You can also prepare this recipe 
in traditional muffin tins for a yield of 18; trim the parchment 
paper for the muffin cups to 2 1/2 x 6 inches, and shorten the baking 
time to 20 minutes.
