Instructions

  1. 1 Gather all ingredients.
  2. 2 Place starter into a bowl. Add bread flour, water, and salt; mix until well blended and sticky.
  3. 3 Cover with aluminum foil and let stand for 4 hours at 70 to 75 degrees F (21 to 24 degrees C).
  4. 4 Uncover dough and use wet hands to fold it over onto itself three to four times. Cover again with foil and let ferment for 2 more hours.
  5. 5 Generously dust a proofing basket (banneton) with rice flour.
  6. 6 Scrape dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Shape into a ball with a smooth, unbroken surface, using just enough flour on the surface to keep it from sticking. Place dough into the prepared basket with the smooth side down. Pinch the rougher edges on the surface together toward the center to smooth them while maintaining a round ball shape.
  7. 7 Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours to slow the fermentation process.
  8. 8 Remove the banneton from the refrigerator. Let sit in a warm spot until dough springs back slowly and retains a slight indentation when poked gently with a finger, about 3 to 5 hours.
  9. 9 Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  10. 10 Dust surface of dough with flour. Gently invert the banneton over the center of the baking sheet and flip dough out onto the parchment paper. Gently brush off excess rice flour. Score top of dough about 1/8-inch deep with a sharp knife to create a shallow slit running across the center. Mist the entire surface lightly with water.
  11. 11 Bake in the center of the preheated oven until beautifully browned, 25 to 30 minutes.
  12. 12 Transfer loaf to a wire rack and let cool completely before slicing.

  1. 1 Combine 2 cups flour, water, sourdough starter, 3 tablespoons butter, sugar, and salt in a bowl; mix into a stiff dough. Beat for a few minutes using a wooden spoon or an electric mixer; the dough should be quite moist and sticky.
  2. 2 Place dough in a large, oiled bowl and turn to coat all sides. Cover the bowl with a clean towel. Leave to ferment at room temperature 8 hours to overnight.
  3. 3 Turn dough out onto a liberally floured surface; knead at least 10 minutes, adding remaining 1/2 cup flour or more as needed. The dough should be very smooth and elastic when done.
  4. 4 Grease a loaf pan with 1 teaspoon butter. Shape dough into a loaf and place in the prepared pan. Cover with a clean towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, 4 to 12 hours depending on temperature.
  5. 5 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  6. 6 Brush top of loaf with beaten egg. Cut a 1/4-inch slash, lengthwise, down center using a sharp knife.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into center reads at least 180 degrees F (82 degrees C), 25 to 30 minutes.

Instructions

  1. 1 The day before baking, mix flour, cold water, and sourdough starter together in a bowl. Cover and leave out at room temperature, 8 hours to overnight.
  2. 2 At the same time, combine raisins, cherries, and pineapple in a separate bowl. Stir in rum. Let fruit soak, tossing occasionally, 8 hours to overnight.
  3. 3 Pour warm water into large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook attachment. Add yeast and let dissolve for 10 minutes. Add eggs, 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, vanilla extract, orange zest, and lemon zest. Whisk together. Scoop in the panettone starter. Add flour and salt.
  4. 4 Knead until dough is very smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Stop and scrape down the sides if needed. Add butter; knead until butter is completely mixed in and dough is soft and somewhat sticky, about 5 minutes. Transfer to your work surface.
  5. 5 Toss and fold your dough into a rough ball shape using wet fingers and a bench scraper. Transfer dough back to the bowl. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 3 hours.
  6. 6 Transfer dough back to your work surface and shape into a rough ball. Place into a resealable plastic bag. Refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
  7. 7 Remove dough from the bag and press out into a flat rectangle. Sprinkle with flour and roll out to at least 1/2-inch thickness. Spread the dried fruit all over the surface. Roll dough up into a log, sealing in the fruit. Roll both ends of the log toward the middle and smooth it over into a ball.
  8. 8 Place dough ball into a short, wide paper panettone mold. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until dough is at least 2/3 of the way up the sides, 3 to 4 hours.
  9. 9 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  10. 10 Mix egg and water together and brush mixture on top of the panettone. Cut 2 slits crosswise on top.
  11. 11 Bake in the preheated oven until beautifully browned, 40 to 45 minutes. Poke 2 skewers through either side of the panettone and flip it over into a panettone hole or a Dutch oven. Let cool upside-down for 2 hours.
  12. 12 Pull out the skewers and slice into pieces.

Instructions

  1. 1 Combine bread flour, spelt flour, sourdough starter, oil, and salt in the bowl of stand mixer. Begin to knead using the dough hook. Add water until all the ingredients combine and begin to pull together; you may not need all the water. Knead on low speed for 5 minutes.
  2. 2 Fold the dough into a ball. Place inside an air fryer-safe baking dish. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to double in volume, 5 hours to overnight.
  3. 3 Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (200 degrees C). Remove the plastic wrap and score the loaf.
  4. 4 Place the baking dish in the air fryer and cook until loaf is browned, about 20 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 190 degrees F (88 degrees C). Allow to cool before slicing.
