Ingredients

• ✓ candied orange peel
• pearl sugar
• water
• egg
• panettone form
• butter
• salt
• instant yeast
• white sugar
• bread flour
• egg
• saffron
• milk
• candied lemon peel
• cointreau
• raisin
• water
• instant yeast
• all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. 1 Prepare the sponge the night before you mix the dough: Mix 1.5 cups all-purpose flour with 1/8 teaspoon yeast in a bowl. Add 2/3 cup cool water. Cover with plastic wrap and let sponge stand at room temperature 8 hours to overnight.
2. 2 Toss raisins with Cointreau in a bowl. Mix orange and lemon peel in with raisins and add an extra tablespoon of Cointreau and let them soften, if they are on the hard side. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand 8 hours to overnight.
3. 3 Pour milk into a saucepan and crumble in saffron threads; heat just to a simmer. Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer, taking care to get all of the saffron bits into the bowl. Let cool to just barely warm (110 degrees F) or room temperature.
4. 4 Transfer sponge to a mixing bowl, breaking up slightly with a spoon. Mix in eggs, stirring a few times by hand. Add 2 1/3 cups bread flour, sugar, 2 1/4 teaspoons yeast, and salt. Mix with the paddle attachment on low speed for about 5 minutes, stopping to scrape down sides of bowl occasionally; the dough will be very loose.
5. 5 Switch to the dough hook attachment and increase speed to medium. Add butter, one piece at a time, mixing until each piece is fully incorporated. Increase to high speed for 1 minute if the mixer can handle it; the dough should be climbing the dough hook and starting to clear the sides of the bowl. Add soaked raisins, orange peel, and lemon peel. Mix on low speed for 2 minutes; the fruit may not be fully dispersed.
6. 6 Transfer dough to a greased bowl. Flop the dough over itself a couple of times (it's a little too wet to fold), cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let rise for 60 minutes.
7. 7 Fold dough a few times to release gas and mix in fruit. Cover again with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
8. 8 Turn the dough onto a floured work space. Divide in half and shape into 2 balls. Place each ball seam-side down in a 6" paper panettone form and set on a baking sheet. Beat egg with water, and brush egg wash onto each loaf. Cover panettone forms loosely with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, about 90 minutes.
9. 9 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
10. 10 Brush loaves with egg wash again and sprinkle pearl sugar on top.
11. 11 Place baking sheet in the hot oven, immediately reducing the temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Bake for 20 minutes, then rotate the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes.
12. 12 Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and continue baking until a tester inserted in the center of each loaf comes out clean, about 20 minutes more. Cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

Ingredients

• ✓ candied orange peel
• bread flour
• semolina flour
• kosher salt
• water
• honey
• ricotta cheese
• water
• white sugar
• semolina flour
• egg yolk
• vanilla extract
• cinnamon
• butter
• lard
• confectioners sugar

Instructions

1. 1 Make the dough: Mix bread flour, semolina flour, and kosher salt together in a large bowl. Mix in water and honey; the dough will be very dry, like pasta. If there is still dry flour after a few minutes of mixing, add up to 2 teaspoons more water to ensure all flour is moistened.
2. 2 Turn dough out onto a work surface and knead for a few minutes until smooth, firm, and not tacky. While you want a firm dough, it must still be workable. Divide dough into four pieces and flatten. Cover dough with plastic wrap when not working with it. Run each piece through a pasta machine on its widest setting a dozen or so times, folding it in half and rotating the sheet 45 degrees each time (see Tips). Dust with flour very sparingly, only if needed to prevent tearing. Repeat with remaining dough pieces. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
3. 3 Meanwhile, make the filling: Blend ricotta cheese in a food processor until smooth. Bring water to a boil in a saucepan, then stir in sugar. Sift in semolina flour, whisking to avoid clumping; it will immediately thicken up. Reduce the heat to low, fold in blended ricotta, and cook for 2 more minutes, stirring constantly.
4. 4 Remove from the heat and transfer filling to the food processor. Add egg yolks, one at a time with the processor running, until fully combined. Add orange peel, vanilla, and cinnamon, then pulse to mix. Transfer filling to a bowl and cool to room temperature. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
5. 5 Divide each dough piece into four smaller pieces and cover with plastic wrap. Place clean kitchen towels over a work surface so you can lay each sheet of dough on the towels while you roll out the remaining sheets.
6. 6 Run each piece of dough through a pasta machine on progressively smaller settings until dough is as thin as possible. After running it through the machine, stretch each sheet as wide as you can without tearing. Dough sheets should stretch to three times their original width and be so thin you can see through them.
7. 7 Melt butter and lard in a saucepan. Place a sheet of parchment paper onto a work surface, and place the first sheet of pastry onto the parchment. Brush pastry with butter mixture. Place the second sheet above the first, overlapping 1/2 inch or so. Roll sheets up into a tight cylinder, leaving about 1 inch to overlap the next sheet. Place the third dough sheet onto the parchment, overlapping the second sheet, and brush with butter mixture. Continue rolling up the log of dough, repeating until all dough pieces are brushed with butter mixture and rolled. Wrap dough log in the parchment sheet, then wrap entirely with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
8. 8 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer chilled filling to a pastry bag or a 1-gallon zip-top bag with the corner snipped off.
9. 9 Cut dough log into 1/2-inch slices; you should have 16 to 20 pieces. Holding it in both hands, use your thumbs to flatten each slice from the center outwards, then shape it into a cone. Pipe some filling into the center, close partially, and repeat to form remaining pastries.
10. 10 Bake in the preheated oven until dough turns golden brown and starts to peel back from the pastries, 20 to 30 minutes, basting a couple of times with any leftover butter mixture if desired. Serve warm pastries dusted with confectioners' sugar.

Ingredients

• ✓ candied orange peel
• confectioners' sugar
• milk
• egg
• cinnamon
• dark rum
• semisweet chocolate chip
• raisin
• apricot preserves
• almond
• fig
• egg
• butter
• salt
• baking powder
• sugar
• all-purpose flour

Instructions

1. 1 In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in butter using a pastry blender, or pinching between your fingers. Add egg, and mix until a dough forms. It may take a couple of minutes of mixing. When the dough starts to hold together, turn it out onto a floured surface and knead briefly. Shape dough into a long roll, wrap, and set aside.
2. 2 Place the figs, almonds, apricot preserves, raisins, orange peel, chocolate, rum, and cinnamon into a food processor or blender. Process until finely chopped. If the fruit is hard, it may be soaked in boiling water to soften for 15 minutes before processing.
3. 3 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small bowl, mix together the remaining egg and milk to make an egg wash.
4. 4 Divide dough into 12 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll each piece out into a 3x12 inch rectangle. Brush the strips of dough lightly with egg wash. Place a strip of the fruit mixture lengthwise down the center of each piece of dough, and fold the edges over. Roll gently to seal. This will make the filled tube of dough a little bit longer. Cut each tube into 3 inch pieces. Make a one inch long slit with a knife down the center of each cut end. Spread the ends out to form an X shape. Place cookies 2 inches apart onto lightly greased cookie sheets.
5. 5 Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the edges are golden. Allow cookies to cool on the tray for at least 5 minutes, so they will not be too delicate, before removing to wire racks to cool completely. Dust with confectioners' sugar when cool.
