Caramel Apple Panettone

Panettone can be made is a wide variety of flavors, not just the classic raisins and candied orange peel. In this case, I used apple chunks, caramel bits, and cider donut spices, which combine beautifully with the light buttery and fermentation notes of the panettone.

I see you packed your anova with no steam. Did the loaves self steam?

Not trying to steam the panettone; the pearl sugar starts to dissolve if you use steam. However, using glaze helps the panettone underneath expand more fully before the starches harden. Particularly if you bake fairly "cool".

I've found that some bread self steam in the Anova. Even with the steam off, I'll open the oven door, and steam will pour out. I was wondering if you experienced that with this bake.

yes, I have noticed this, and I think it  is generally a good thing. I do periodically vent the steam by opening the door for a moment, just to be sure that it''s not building up

Looks like you've got this down :)  The classic is very good, but I'm more drawn to all the interesting flavor combinations like this that panettone is such a great canvas for.

Happy Holidays!

And happy holidays to you!! Yes, it really is a canvas, good to think of it that way!

I think that people confuse panettone with the old fruit cake, that has been the subject of so many jokes.  Maybe because of the raisins, citron, etc.
