This is the first panettone bake since February, and it came out pretty well!
I only have fed the LM a few times since then, and in this case, only once in the past 10 days. It did progress well however, and so I went ahead with the bake.
This is quite different from what I used to do, and is probably due mostly to the LM itself, which has developed some resiliency over time.
I continue to make tweaks to my formula, as I work on goals for crumb, tenderness, shred, etc.
Small changes can make a big difference. ‘
This batch only had a final rise of 3 1/2 hours, which ordinarily would not work out well, but in this case it had plenty of up-front fermentation, and so the final overall fermentation was in the ballpark. I’m happy with the results, and will adjust future bakes accordingly.
