Ingredients

• 120 ml Warm water
• 7 g Active dry yeast
• 500 g All-purpose flour
• 75 g Granulated sugar
• 1 tsp Salt
• 3 Egg whites
• 120 ml Low-fat milk
• 100 g Low-fat yogurt
• 1 tsp Vanilla extract
• 1 tsp Lemon zest
• 1 tsp Orange zest
• 100 g Raisins
• 100 g Dried cranberries
• 100 g Chopped mixed candied fruit
• 0 Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine warm water and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, and salt.

Step 3

Add egg whites, warm milk, yogurt, vanilla extract, lemon zest, and orange zest to the yeast mixture. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the flour mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.

Step 5

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly sprayed bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1.5 hours or until doubled in size.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently and knead in the raisins, cranberries, and candied fruit until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 9

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a well-greased and lightly floured 18cm (7-inch) panettone mold or a deep cake tin.

Step 10

Cover the dough loosely with plastic wrap and let it rise again for about 30-40 minutes until it fills most of the mold.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 12

Remove the panettone from the oven, allow it to cool in the mold for about 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
