Hello everyone!  Here is some info and some recipes for Panettone, none of
which are for the bread machine.  I haven't tried any of the recipes, so I
can't speak for their quality.  I hope you all enjoy them.

By the way, I didn't find any good info about Pandoro.  King Arthur sells a
pandoro pan, and their website has a recipe, but it's for the bread
machine.  I have all these recipes for Panettone, but none for Pandoro.  Go
figure.

I have a book called "The Recipe Encyclopedia" and it says that Panettone
is "A cake made from sweet yeast dough enriched with egg yolk (which gives
it its color), candied fruits and raisins.  Usually made in the shape of a
tall, round loaf, panettone is a specialty of Milan, in northern Italy,
where it is now commercially produced for sale around the world.  It is
served with coffee for breakfast and is traditional Christmas fare."

In addition to the following recipes, there is one in "The Joy of Cooking"
(mine isn't the most recent edition, though) and if you go to
www.kingarthurflour.com they have a recipe, too.  They published a
different recipe in the December 1999 catalog which required a few things
you have to buy from them, but I'm sure if you call they'd be happy to send
you whatever you need.  They also sell a special round glass pan
specifically for Panettone.  Both of the KA recipes use a Biga (overnight
starter) so they and this first recipe I think are the more authentic.

Madeleine's Notes:  
Note that three glass bowls will be needed.  I have chosen this recipe
because it involves all the steps of rich bread baking from the chef
through to the baked product without taking days to prepare. For the
preparation of this bread, I am using the techniques explained in great
detail on pages 241-243 of "Le Ricette Regionali Italiane", by Maria
Gosetti della Salda, Milan, Italy, 1967.  The amount and choice of
ingredients were recommended by my Milan-born cousin Bruno Asnaghi.  I have
adapted the proportions to American unbleached all-purpose flour.  The cake
flour in the recipe is used exclusively to coat the raisins and citron and
prevent them from falling to the bottom of the bread.

Best freezing stage: Fully baked

Yield:  3 rich cakelike breads each to be baked in one 1-quart tall pyrex
glass bowl, for a total of 24 servings.

Make the chef:  Mix the flour, yeast, and water together in a medium-size
bowl until homogeneous.  Cover with a piece of cheesecloth and let ferment
and rise 3 full hours at room temperature in the warmest corner of the
kitchen.  

Make the levain:  In a large bowl mix together the flour and sugar.  Make a
well in the center of the flour and to it add the chef; gradually blend the
chef into the flour, adding also water as needed until the levain is
homogeneous.  Cover with the same cheesecloth and let ferment and rise
overnight in a cooler corner of the kitchen.

Make the intermediate dough:  Put the egg yolks and the whole egg in a
large bowl.  Beat them into a thick omelette batter, then stir in the sugar
and whisk until the mixture turns semithick and foamy (no need to reach the
ribbon stage, though). Make a well in the flour and salt mixed together,
gradually add the beaten eggs, them the levain, using a wooden spatula and
lifting the dough to aerate it at the same time.  Continue beating gently
as you introduce the melted, barely lukewarm butter into the dough.  When
the dough is homogeneous, cover it with the cheesecloth and let it rise at
room temperature in the warmest corner of the kitchen until doubled in
bulk.  Gently punch the dough down and let it rise again to the highest
volume it will go, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Make the final dough:  While the intermediate dough rises, soak the raisins
and citron in the mixed orange flower water and Marsala.  Cover and let
soak until the intermediate dough has risen for the second time.  Drain the
fruit from the flavorings keeping any liquid left at the bottom of the
bowl; pat the fruit dry, toss it into the cake flour to coat well, and set
aside. Cream the 3/4 cup butter with the tips of your fingers and divide it
into four equal parts.  Set aside at room temperature. Make a well in the
remaining flour, mix in the salt, fruit, and the ground flavorings; add the
already risen dough to the center of the well together with any remaining
liquid flavorings.  Gradually bring the dry flour into the intermediate
dough.  As soon as all the flour has been incorporated, put one part of the
butter at the four poles of the dough; using your fingertips, cream each
quarter of the butter into one quarter of the dough.  Beat with a few
strokes of the hand, then return to a large clean bowl and let rise another
1 1/2 hours.  Punch the dough gently down and aerate it with a few slaps of
the hand, but do not knead it. Butter each glass bowl with 1 tablespoon
each of the remaining butter and line its bottom with a circle of parchment
paper.  Add one third of the dough to each bowl.  Let proof until the dough
reaches about 1/3 inch above the rim of each bowl, 40 to 45 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 400F while the cakes are proofing.  Using a razor blade
dipped in flour, cut a semicircular line 1/6 inch deep into the top of each
cake.  Put the cakes to bake 20 minutes on the middle rack of the oven.
Turn the oven down to 325F and continue baking another 20 minutes.  Turn
the oven off and let the cakes finish cooking in the dying oven another 5
to 10 minutes.  The cakes are done when a metal skewer inserted at the
center of each comes out dry and burning to the top of the hand.  Remove
from the oven, unmold on a cake rack, and cool completely. Wrap the cakes
in aluminum foil and store 2 days in a breadbox before serving.  Serve
lightly dusted with confectioners' sugar.

Knead about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Place in greased bowl;
turn greased side up. Cover and let rise in warm place 1 1/2 to 2 hours or
until double. (Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.)

Punch down dough; divide in half. Shape each half into round loaf, about 6
inches in diameter. Place each loaf in ungreased round pan, 8 1 1/2 inches.
Cut an X shape 1/2 inch deep on top of each loaf.

Generously grease one side of a strip of heavy brown paper, about 25 4
inches. Fit and coil paper around inside of pan, greased side toward
center, forming a collar; fasten with paper clip. Repeat for second loaf.
Cover and let rise about 1 hour or until double.

Heat oven to 350F. Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove
loaves from pans to wire rack; remove paper. Brush margarine on tops of
loaves; cool.

2. Combine the yeast, sugar and water in a bowl; blend until smooth.
Leave, covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place for 10 minutes or until
foamy.
3. Sift flour into large mixing bowl, add butter.  Rub butter into flour
with fingertips for 2 minutes or until mixture is fine and crumbly.  Add
fruit mixture, stir until well mixed.
4. Combine eggs, sugar and milk; stir in yeast mixture.  Make a well in

5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface.  Knead for 5-10
minutes or until the dough is no longer sticky.  Place in a bowl and leave,
covered with plastic wrap, in a warm place for 30 minutes or until well
risen.  Shape the risen dough into a loaf.  Place in pan, and let rise in a
warm place for 30 minutes.
6. Preheat oven to moderately hot 400F.  Brush the dough with extra milk,
bake for 15 minutes; reduce the heat to moderate 350F, bake for 1 hour more
or until the Panettone is well browned and cooked through.  If necessary,
cover it loosely with foil to prevent over browning.  When cooked it will
sound hollow when tapped.
