What's not to love in a panettone? Sweet, rich, light and studded with dried fruit! I would love to make it one day. Just to clarify, even it is made with a lievito naturale, any tang or sourness is undesirable, right? So is it why there is a strict feeding schedule for the madre?

Your question is very intelligent. Feeding schedule is necessary for improve the strenght of sourdough starter, at the same time balance the acidity of the sourdough starter. The presence of fat (butter and eggs) makes it difficult to leavening, for this you need a strong sourdough starter.

Panettone needs a sourdough starter very efficient. I feed sourdough starter at TA always and the last day i make two feeds at 26/28°C
