    We've been on the hunt for our favorite Christmas treat: panettone! Turns out, it's a lot harder to find a good panettone where we live, and we bet many other people face the same problem.
    In this video, we're sharing some reasons why you might want to skip panettone (even though we love it more than life itself!) and instead try an alternative (and easy to make) Italian Christmas cake. But before we can recommend it, we need to see if this other dessert stacks up to a store-bought panettone...
    We'll be back with another video after Christmas 🎄 In the meantime, happy holidays and buon appetito to you all!

    A tip from a lifelong panettone eater. Before eating it, keep it about half an hour near a heat source (especially if the panettone has been stored in a cool place or environment for some time, or if it has just been purchased and brought home), so that the butter contained inside can soften and make the whole panettone soften in this way, which can then better release all its aroma and all its fragrance.
    PS: And after eating some slices, to prevent the panettone from drying out and losing its softness, always keep it in its plastic bag, in its packaging, and don't leave it open somewhere, on some table (as I have unfortunately seen done somewhere). Otherwise, the panettone will dry out and lose its softness and fragrance.

      ​@lyndaplancarte4895 toasting panettone is not so unusual and can help bring out the flavors when is a "commercial" panettone as the one Eva and Arpher bought but I did never put extra butter after toasting it. Maybe it's worth a try :)

    In Brazil, panettone is basically a Christmas staple. You usually can find it in any grocery store throughout the country between October and February, and many bakeries will have their own, locally-made ones. Of course, that is probably because Brazil has some 30 million people with Italian descent, the largest Italian diaspora in the world. We also have more gourmet panettones, specially "Brazilianized" ones, such as those with Brazil nuts, maracuja (passion fruit) filling, brigadeiro filling, etc.

      @@ReaperOfSouls83 As a Brazilian who lives in Italy I can say that Brazilian panettone is very similar to the Italian one as long as you go for a relatively good one. In Brazil there are also very low budget options that are not as good, but if you compare at fixed price the quality in Brazil is quite good. On the other hand, in Italy there are some premium panettoni that are better than anything you can get anywhere else (as it goes for most traditional Italian food).
      Brazil also has the chocolate version (chocolate instead of raisins) which I've never seen in Italy, I particularly don't like the chocolate version but a lot of people are crazy about it.

    There IS NO problem with Pannetone except when you don’t have it!!!! Christmas without it is not Christmas, as far as desserts go. MY ALL TIME FAVORITE Im ADDICTED TO! That’s one heck of a recipe you have there bit I’m willing to give it a go if it I know it will come out as good as yours. I’m happy with raisins, chocolate, cherry, even plain, don’t need all those other extras. I just want to conquer the recipe, even hanging it upside down. I’ve already polished off one given to me and there’s two more waiting behind that. Great breakfast treat with cafe’. The texture is heavenly, the flavor amazing. Eva, you always make cooking look like a work of art! Wish me luck! Merry Christmas!!

We start to eat it, including the chocolat version one week before December 25 and during the feast and we always offer to others and receive some as well, so we continue to eat panetone every morning until the next year! And here you can find from the cheapest, about R$ 10 (U$2) until the special (R$ 100 or more) in for many flavors you will be amazed how criative and heretic our industry of panetone can be!

    As someone from Mantua, I can only consider this video the first step towards the conquest of the world by the Anello di Monaco!!!!
    A bit of history: the recipe was invented in 1798 by Adolf Putscher, a Swiss pastry chef (coming from the canton of Grisons) who had moved to Mantua a few years earlier and it was probaly inspired by the Gugelhupf.
    The name "Anello di Monaco" was invented probably by the citizen of Mantua who believed the cake came from the city of Monaco di Baviera (Munich)

    We have an exceptional locally made pannetone in the SF Bay Area - Pannetone From Roy. Last year it was available at grocery stores and while pricey ($65) it was definitely worth the splurge. This year unfortunately it's only available online for $95 plus shipping which isn't worth it IMO. I'm picking up another one locally made at Starter Bakery today. It's $55 and while not as good as Roy's, it's still very good

The regular panettone is around $13 and the gourmet panettone can go for as much as $40. I generally buy the $12 and it's great and i have a piece with my morning coffee and I love it. It's light and airy, its never dry, and it has significant amounts of candied fruit and the wonderful smell of Fiori di Sicilia.

Little Italy, Mott St. you can find all kinds of Panettone at Christmas time. You can also find the eight pointed shape 'star' called "Pandoro" with the sweet sugar icing to top it off with...Which is my favorite, "Pandoro", so delicious!

Like 5#'s. We loved them for christmas and the rest of the year too. She would make a bunch of them and mail them to all her relatives around the US. I got her to tell me the recipe before she passed. I make one the following year. It was so hard to make by hand. How an 85 year old could beat that together I don't know.

    Yummmmm. I’m in Siracusa now, and the variety of panettone here gives me hope for humanity. Cherry+strawberry, chocolate chip, fig, cedrata, pistacchio, coffee cream, etc etc. oh, and candied pumpkins and chocolate chunk.

    Shopping around helps. I once looked at a Bauli on Amazon, and it was like $40, like you said. Then I went to the local Italian store, not Eataly, and the exact same one was for under $20. I didn't check the expiration date, but it was really good. It tasted fresh.

    I know it is not a Sourdough. However, if you keep a little raw dough from a previous mix and dissolve in the water before adding to your next dough. It will give an enhanced flavour to your yeast product. Great video as usual. Thank you. Xx merry Christmas. 🧑🏻‍🎄🫶🏻🥂💫

    We're fortunate in the Seattle area that we can get panettone in a number grocery stores. Maina at Safeway. Bauducco at Fred Meyer or QFC (both Kroger). They're priced between $9-13 each.
    Trader Joe's has a store brand panettone they source from somewhere in Veneto. World Market usually carries a few brands of panettone, though both stores can run out of stock early on, so it pays to buy in November or October if they're available. Pricing goes from $7 (Trader Joe's) to over $25 (higher end ones at World Market).

    You had me when the adzuki bean-paste "jam" entered the scene. I make a fermented dough ring that is similarly rolled with candied ginger (I make my own) and bean paste and then frosted with a block cane sugar (think Asian grocery) cooked frosting made with coconut milk and Chinese sherry. It appears quite similar, and my mind is blown happily. I have already put flour on to start a ferment, with five-spice. Anticipation! The Korean woman i learned to cook it from jokingly told me it was from the chinese part of Italy! I love playing with dough.

I have made a few of your pasta dishes and that great "not bread" made with vegetables (butternut squash and zucchini) love it! I just want to be in your kitchen to eat the leftovers!!! I look forward to your next cooking endeavours in 2024. I made my family's traditional italian desserts - scalittis; turdilli and anginette cookies (anise cookies) my sister makes the anise pizzelles - all the old bakers are gone now so "beggers" can't be choosy when I make the desserts but I can say they just "aren't the same as aunt Carmels" . Happy and Healthy 2024 to you all.

    I would say, based on the ingredients, this is most similar to a brioche bread rather than a cake. I am so going to try and make this - as soon as I get my fridge fixed - praying that happens before Christmas. Merry Christmas to both of you.

    Here in France I get much more enjoyment out of a good specialty bread full of nuts and dried fruit. Much more pleasure! Panetone is wasted on me. Having said that, I will always try some, just to see what friends are raving about. I think it has a lot to do with their childhood memories/experiences. Will have to try one of the expensive models some year, to be absolutely sure that I'm not missing something. My personal favorite brioche is the "Brioche Feuilleté" (a puff pastry brioche). Brioche and bread, both a craft, and a love of labour.... for our pleasure; thank-you many times over. Happy New Year, everybody and to Pasta Grammar. Pace et Salut! as we say in Corsica.

    We've already gone through two Pannetones this season. 😆 I went to the Roma Market in Pasadena and ask the old guy who owns it for a good panettone for the family. He asked "what do they like?", which I didn't understand because I thought they were either regular, or chocolate, so I said "chocolate". He said "no, traditional". I said "buy they like..." He cut me off "no, traditional, I'll go get you one, wait here." He's got good stuff and knows his business, and he's quite opinionated. 😆

    Thanks. Just to mention that Madi Pannettone is available every year from Oct through December for around $8 to $10 (can't exactly recall) at Costco. It's excellent. I've branched out over the years to buy a $30 Cherry Pannettone on Amazon, and another $23 import. Neither came near Madi in softness, smell, or taste. But I will try the not-a-cake that Eva made today. Best to both of you.

    Mom made a similar sweet yeast bread but,while out on board, spread a finely chopped walnut, honey, sugar, raisins filling and then proceeded to roll up and place in baking dish, circle, it is called potica. Always for Christmas and Easter. Same dough but just incorporating raisins was called sarkelj. Also chives, tarragon fillings too. But seriously, the pork crackling sweet bread was to 'die' for, literally🤣 Freshly baked is always the best.
