Join Mary Storey for a wonderful evening making Traditional* Panettone! During the class you will learn to fill, shape and bake a batch of pre-risen dough (so you’re not waiting around for hours.) While your panettone is baking you’ll learn to make a batch of dough to bring home so you can make more delicious Panettone to share with your friends and family! Plus, Mary will have a surprise Panettone dessert made for you to sample (don’t worry, she’ll share the recipe too) in addition to serving her freshly baked loaf.
Panettone is probably the most iconic Italian Christmas cake. It is instantly recognizable for its beautifully tall dome shape. Panettone is a sweet, soft, and buttery bread similar to brioche. The dough is traditionally loaded with lemon and/or orange zest, and a mix of dried and candied fruit and baked in a paper mold to give it the characteristic shape.
*If dried fruit isn’t your thing, we’ll also have chocolate chips and a variety of nuts including pistachios and hazelnuts to choose from.
Legend has it that Panettone’s origin goes back to the late 1400s… during a luxurious Christmas banquet given by the Duke of Milan, the desert they were meant to server was burnt. A kitchen apprentice called Toni, came up with a rich brioche bread filled with raisins and candied fruit. The Duke loved it, and so the tradition of 'Pane di Toni' was born and later changed to "panettone" and become a bread of luxury.
