Ingredients:

  • biga (overnight starter)
  • 1/16 tsp yeast ( just a pinch)
  • 1/3 cup water
  • all of the biga (above)
  • 1/4 cup water
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp fiori di sicilia flavoring or 1 tsp vanilla + 1/8 tsp orange oil
  • 2 1/4 tsp fermipan brown yeast (special for sweet breads) or 1 tbsp instant yeast
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup slivered dried apricots
  • 2 tbsp orange or lemon zest

Directions:

  1. Biga:
  2. Combine the biga ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl, cover, and allow them to rest overnight (8 to 12 hours).
  3. Dough:
  4. Combine all of the dough ingredients except the fruit, and mix and knead them together - by hand, mixer or bread machine - till you've made a soft, smooth dough. Allow the dough to rise, covered, for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, or until it's puffy (though not necessarily doubled in bulk). Gently deflate the dough, and knead in the fruits and zest.
  5. Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a panettone pan or other straight-sided, tall 1 1/2- to 2-quart pan. Cover the pan and let the dough rise till it's just crested over the rim of the pan, about 1 hour.
  6. Bake the bread in a preheated 400°F oven for 10 minutes; reduce the oven heat to 375°F and bake an additional 10 minutes; then reduce the heat to 350°F and bake for 25 minutes, tenting with aluminum foil if the crust appears to be browning too quickly. Remove the panettone from the oven and cool completely.
