Instructions
To make the starter:
Place the flour, yeast, and water in a large mixing bowl and stir together until combined.
Cover, and allow to rest for 8 to 12 hours, or overnight.
To make the panettone:
To the bowl of starter, add the flour, sugar, butter, water, eggs, yeast, salt, vanilla, and
orange blossom water
.
Mix on medium-low speed (using a dough hook) until combined, then knead for 10 minutes.*
Cover, and allow to rise in a warm place for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Gently deflate the dough, then knead in the
candied orange peel
and
chocolate
.
Shape it into a ball and place it in a
paper panettone mold
.
Cover, and allow to rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Bake the panettone for 10 minutes, then turn the oven down to 375 degrees F, and bake for another 10 minutes.
Turn the oven temp down to 350 degrees, and bake for 25 minutes more.**
Notes
*The dough was very sticky, so I let my mixer do the kneading.
**Tent the panettone with aluminum foil if the top is becoming too brown.
Chocolate orange panettone keeps for up to a week, tightly wrapped, at room temperature.
