- Ready In:
- 4hrs 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 10
- Yields:
-
1 loaf
- Serves:
- 8-10
ingredients
- 3⁄4 cup warm water
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 2 eggs
- 3 cups all-purpose flour or 3 cups bread flour
- 1 (1/4 ounce) package fleishmans yeast
- 1⁄2 cup candied fruit (See **)
- 1⁄3 cup chopped almonds
- 1⁄2 teaspoon almond extract
directions
- ** I prefer to mix my own from separate containers of candied cherries, citron, lemon and orange peel rather than use the premixed peel sold for friut cake as the individual fruit flavors remain more distinct this way.
- Add ingredients in bread machine pan in the order recommended by the manufacturer select white bread or sweet bread and push start; dough will look wet but that is normal for this bread, don't be tempted to add more flour.
- Note: I have found that candied fruit and nuts are rather resilient and don't break up easily.
- So I find little difference if the fruit and nuts are added at the beginning instead of waiting for the additives beep of the machine.
- You can wait if you wish but I tend in this recipe to throw it in with the rest of the ingredients.
- I like my bread less dense so the bread so that the flavor of the bread comes through and I can spread some butter on it.
- If you prefer a more dense fruity bread you can increase the fruit to a full cup.

Hmmmmm......the first time I made this one as directed I had a few "glitches." The second time I made it I used the fruit and nut setting on my machine and that turned out much better. (I have a Breadman Ultimate.) Makes a huge loaf and does need a little extra time to finish baking in the middle IMO. I followed Steve's directives and purchased candied citron, orange and lemon separately and that was good advice. I threw in some dried cranberries for color and used lemon extract instead of almond as that's what I had. This is a pretty solid rendition of panettone. If you're looking for the real thing buy it but if you don't mind a close substitute, make this!

This is wonderful! I literally threw this into the bread maker, hoping for the best but not expecting it to be as good as it was. I followed catwhispers recommendation and substituted some oil for butter, with a wonderful buttery flavour as a result. I did not have any candied fruit but figured that I often buy the plain panettone anyway so went for it without. I found the texture a little heavier than a bought one but overall it really had the kind of flavour and 'dryness' that I love. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this recipe Steve I am really pleased to be adding this to my growing collection of bread maker recipes!

This was absolutely wonderful. The only change I made was to use 3 tablespoons butter and 3 tablespoons oil instead of all oil, since panettone should be traditionally buttery, but the oil probably gives it some of its good texture. Even though I am an almond fanatic, I think this smaller amount of extract works, perhaps because I added the butter. The flavor was nice and subtle, and all blended well together. Thanks for a great recipe.

This recipe turned out beautifully. I made it in my Kitchenaid, letting it rest for about an hour and a half before putting it in the bread pan to rest an additional hour. I baked it at 375 for 30-40 minutes and it looked and smelled great. The only changes I made were to add about a teaspoon of lemon zest (I would add more next time) and I also doubled the almond extract, though I couldn't really taste it. I also used the full cup of fruit and I am glad I did. The bread has an excellent texture, very soft. As another reviewer stated, it doesn't have a lot of flavour, however, so I would use butter instead of oil, increase the sugar, and add some spices such as cinnamon and nutmeg next time. I look forward to making this again!
