Method

  1. Rinse the candied fruits and raisins in warm water, pour the brandy (or cognac, liquor), cover, and leave for 4-6 hours.
  2. Dilute the yeast in 1 teaspoon of warm milk. Add the sugar, cover, and leave for 5-6 minutes.
  3. After 5 minutes, add the eggs (at room temperature), sugar, vanilla sugar, vegetable oil, and mix well with a mixer.
  4. Then sift the flour with salt, add it to the dough, and start mixing with a mixer (for 5 minutes), first at low speed, and then increase the speed, and knead for another 6-8 minutes (the dough will start gathering into a ball).
  5. Then add the butter at room temperature, and mix well again with a mixer (for 5 minutes).
  6. Squeeze the candied fruits and  raisins, add it all to the dough, and mix for 3-4 minutes; add the zest. Wrap the bowl with cling film, and refrigerate for 7-8 hours.
  7. After the specified time, take the dough out of the fridge, knead, roll into a ball, put in a mold, and leave at room temperature for 2-3 hours. The dough should rise a bit.
  8. Preheat the oven to 356F (180C). Mix the yolk with milk, grease the panettone, and send it to the oven.
  9. Bake the panettone at 356F (180C) for 20 minutes, and then reduce the temperature to 302-320F (150-160C), and bake for another 20-30 minutes (until a dry match), placing Easter cakes on the lower level of the oven (so that the top does not burn).
  10. Remove the finished panettone from the oven, and cool completely.
