// Panettone with chocolate

Delicious and fluffy

Panettone is a Christmas dessert typical of Italy, made with a brioche-type dough, candied fruits and raisins. But I made this recipe with chocolate chips instead of candied fruits and raisins. It is a recipe that, although it takes time, is quite simple to make. I hope you dare and try it, I assure you that it tastes delicious!!

Ingredients

🌟140ml whole milk

🌟35g fresh yeast

🌟3 eggs @pazodevilane

🌟120g sugar

🌟120g butter (softened)

🌟500g strong flour

🌟Vanilla essence to taste

🌟Panettone aroma to taste

🌟Lemon zest 🍋 to taste

🌟Orange zest 🍊 to taste

🌟100g chocolate chips @dr.oetker

🌟2 500g panettone paper molds

Elaboration

🎄Heat the milk until it is lukewarm

🎄Crumble the yeast into pieces and dissolve it in the milk with 30g of flour (of the 500g) and 30g of sugar (of the 120g). Cover with cling film and leave to rest for 20 minutes

🎄In a bowl put the mixture of yeast, sugar and eggs. Mix with a hand mixer

🎄Add the soft butter and mix (it should not be liquid or hot) I heated it for 30 seconds in the microwave, let it rest and stirred with a fork. it was creamy

🎄Add the aromas to taste (vanilla, orange, lemon...)

🎄Add the flour and knead by hand for a few minutes

🎄Pass the dough to the bowl of the mixer with the dough hook and knead until the dough is elastic

🎄Remove the dough from the bowl and knead a little with your hands (grease your hands and the counter with a little sunflower oil or butter to make it easier to manipulate the dough)

🎄Stretch the dough and put the chocolate nuggets. Knead until the nuggets are adhered

🎄Divide the dough into two bowls and let them rest covered for one hour in a warm place

🎄Transfer the dough to the panettone molds and let them rest covered until they double in size (it takes about 1.5 hours) in a warm place

🎄Make two cross-shaped cuts on the top with a sharp blade and paint with egg (I use a yolk with a tablespoon of milk)

🎄Bake at 165ºC for 30 min. (heat from above and below without fan). Before removing the panettone, prick it with a toothpick and check that it comes out dry

🎄After 20 minutes of baking time, I cover them with aluminum foil, so that they don't brown too much (I don't like them too brown, that's up to each person's taste)

🎄Remove from the oven and put to cool suspended upside down (I suspended them with two skewer sticks resting on some wooden drawers that I used as pillars)

🎄When they are warm or cold you can enjoy them now!!!

Note

💫To preserve them, cover them well with transparent film

💫If you use panettone scent, I recommend you be careful with the dose you use. It is strong and you can pass! I put a teaspoon of vanilla essence, 3 drops of panettone aroma and a little lemon and orange zest

💫Eggs are size M

💫The flour I always use harimsa

I hope this homemade recipe works for you and helps you prepare a delicious and fluffy panettone for Christmas 🎄🌟
