Hello Estelle, I would love to give you the recipe but the publisher didn't give me permission. The Orange Panettone came from Rose Levy Beranbaum's The Baking Bible. I baked this cakey-bread or breaddy-cake and posted it as part of an Alpha Bakers group - a group that baked its way through her entire book and posted our results. I can tell you that this Panettone is outstanding. Really. Thanks so much for your interest in The Finer Cookie, Kim

Thank you for your nice comments! I hope you make the panettone during catch up week. You'll see what I mean about the dough. You won't be disappointed.

Looks wonderful.

Hi Jen, Thanks so much for such a nice comment. Truth is, I do love working with this dough, and I really enjoyed the casual, take your time pace of this Panettone.

Thanks Diane!

I look forward to reading your post. It's been a while. We've missed you!

Thanks Glori.

I did enjoy this process of making this Panettone. It was a real pleasure.

PATRICIA! Funny. Thank you for your enthusiasm. Yes, I cut an "x" in the top, just before it went in the oven. I always tear my bread and some cakes. They never make it home in one piece. I was lucky for this post, Rick was working from home last week and happily took the doc shots, but most of the time, I take the pics. For the final shot, Rick assists me with the lighting. Your oven question: can we talk sometime about this? I have so many questions about oven settings.

Thanks Monica. I've thrown ice cubes in the oven before when making stuff from Rose's Bred Bible. It's suppose to make thinks rise quick and give more of a crust. I think.

Thanks Jenn, The shot was fun.

Thanks Faithy, I think bread should always be torn. When I buy a baguette from the bakery, it never makes it home in one piece.

Hi Vicki, thank you for your nice words.
