Ingredients

• 500 grams All-purpose flour
• 10 grams Active dry yeast
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 240 milliliters Unsweetened almond milk
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 100 grams Raisins
• 100 grams Candied citrus peel
• 50 grams Pistachios
• 100 grams Coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast in 60 ml of warm almond milk and let it sit for 10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the yeast mixture to the flour mixture along with the remaining almond milk, egg yolks, vanilla extract, orange zest, and lemon zest.

Step 4

Mix the ingredients until a smooth dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 2 hours or until doubled in size.

Step 6

Incorporate the raisins, candied citrus peel, and pistachios into the risen dough, kneading gently to distribute them evenly.

Step 7

Melt the coconut oil and let it cool slightly. Gradually add the melted coconut oil into the dough, kneading until fully absorbed.

Step 8

Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it in a paper panettone mold or a greased panettone tin.

Step 9

Cover the dough loosely with a cloth and let it rise again for another 1 to 1.5 hours until it reaches the top of the mold.

Step 10

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 11

Place the panettone in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and let the panettone cool completely on a wire rack before slicing and serving.
