PANETONE | BIZU

Combine warm milk and yeast in a bowl; let sit until frothy, about 5-10 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.

Add eggs, melted butter, orange zest, lemon zest, and vanilla extract to the flour mixture; mix until combined.

Pour in the yeast mixture and knead the dough until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes.

Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1-2 hours.

Gently deflate the dough and fold in the dried fruit and candied citrus peel.

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a panettone mold or a tall cake pan.

Cover and let it rise again until it reaches the top of the mold, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the panettone for 40-50 minutes, until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.

Remove from the oven and let cool in the mold for 10 minutes.

Carefully remove the panettone from the mold and cool completely on a wire rack.

Once cool, dust with powdered sugar and serve.
