Panettone Saga Step 2 ...

Toast
panettone crumb

Managed this time to keep the panettone in one piece 💪 very shreddy, oven spring is still work in progress. Open crumb is far away ...

Considering that the PM was maybe a tiny bit too lactic (and I couldn't wait longer for the next try), I'm pretty happy with the structure. And again I learned a lot. Panettone must be an endless learning process.

 

After some time in the oven (10min???) ...

 

Prepared for the final 10-15min in the oven ...

 

First slice ...

Nice progress.

Panettone must be an endless learning process.

It is a never ending journey lol.  Literally just wrote a blog post about panettone and then baked the flattest pancakeattone in recent memory.  Barely rose over the edge of the cup.  My wife asked if I had made a mini loaf 🤣.

Yes, I know this moments. The primo looks great, then the final proof is a bit sketchy and in the oven the worst fears are confirmed. Afair from your blog post you are also mixing with a planetary mixer (Kenwood Chef or similar). It doesn’t make the life easier ;)

Great crumb with elastic shred, which absolutely signifies low (lactic) acidity. The cross cut looks great too. Well done!
