This festive panettone recipe is perfect for the holiday season, offering a delightful blend of flavors and a soft, fluffy texture.
Add the warm water, softened butter, and eggs into the bread machine pan.
Ensure the water is warm but not hot to activate the yeast properly.
Add the vanilla extract, flour, sugar, powdered milk, salt, and yeast on top.
Layer the ingredients as listed to ensure proper mixing and rising.
Set the bread machine to the 'Sweet Bread' setting with a light crust option.
Check your bread machine manual for the exact setting if unsure.
Add the raisins and candied orange peel when the machine signals for add-ins.
Distribute the add-ins evenly for a consistent flavor throughout the bread.
Once the bread is baked, remove it from the machine and let it cool completely before slicing.
Allowing the bread to cool ensures easier slicing and better texture.
