Preparation
- Add the mix, water, honey, vanilla and orange zest in the machine for 5 min. on medium-high speed until smooth. Add egg yolks and knead for 4 min. on medium speed and 2 min. on high speed. Add the butter and knead for 3 min. on medium speed and 1 min. on high speed or until incorporated. Finally add the candied fruit and knead for a further 3 min. on medium speed.
- Fold a few times onto the work surface and leave to rise covered for approx. 30 min. at 24 °C. Divide the dough into four parts, form into a loaf with buttered hands and place in a cross mould into a dove mould. Cover and leave to rise for approx. 2 h, or until the dough barely protrudes from the mould.
- For the glaze, mix the ingredients to a smooth cream. Once the two colombe have risen, spread the glaze over the surface. A piping bag with a round opening is suitable for this. Be careful not to dent the pastry. Sprinkle the almonds and the sugar on top.
- Bake the panettone for approx. 45 min. in a static oven at 170 °C.
- IMPORTANT: As soon as the “colomba” is removed from the oven, it must be hung upside down so that it does not collapse when it cools. Professional cooling skewers are suitable for this.
