Ingredients
- 4 cups flour
- 2 tsp salt
- ¼ cup sugar
- 2½ tsp instant yeast
- 1½ cups milk
- ½ cup boiling water
- 5 tbsp unsalted butter plus more for greasing
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 oz 65% cacao bittersweet chocolate
Instructions
- Assemble all your ingredients, got it all? Good!
- Use a large mixing bowl and combine the flour, salt, sugar, and instant yeast. Whisk together.
- In a different, microwave-safe bowl, melt 4 tbsp of butter then add the milk, boiling water, and vanilla. Whisk together.
- Pour the liquids into the dry ingredients bowl and fold together with a spatula until mixed. Make sure to mix until everything is incorporated and it becomes a sticky ball of dough.
- Cover the bowl and dough with plastic wrap and leave to rise in a warm spot for about 2 hours, or until the dough has doubled.
- Preheat the oven to 375F and make sure the oven rack is in the middle. Prep a panettone mold by generously greasing it with soft butter.
- Chop the chocolate into small pieces, no bigger than ½ inch chunks.
- Remove the plastic wrap from the dough and add the chocolate chunks.
- Using your hands or two forks or spatulas, fold opposite sides of the dough in towards the middle. The dough will deflate, but that’s okay!
- Rotate the bowl and continue this movement until the chocolate is incorporated. I don’t recommend kneading the dough on your counter for this step, because it is supposed to be a sticky dough.
- Transfer the dough into the previously prepared panettone mold and leave it to rise again. Do not cover it this time, but do put it in a warm spot. Let it rise for 25 minutes, or until it has doubled.
- Place the mold on a baking tray (to prevent spillage) and put it in the oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes. The top should have evenly browned when it’s done.
- Remove from the oven and use oven mitts to move the mold onto a cooling rack.
- Melt 1 tbsp of butter and brush it across the top of the bread using a pastry brush.
- Allow the panettone to cool for about an hour before removing the mold and cutting into it.
