Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Combine the milk, eggs, egg yolks, vanilla, and the zest of lemon and orange.

Step 2

In the mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, yeast, and salt, and mix using the dough hook attachment.

Step 3

Gradually pour in the egg mixture and knead the dough.

Step 4

Add the softened butter and knead the dough for about 5 minutes. It should be soft and sticky.

Step 5

Lightly grease a clean bowl with vegetable oil, transfer the dough into it, cover with an oiled plastic wrap, and place in a warm spot for 90 minutes.

Step 6

Mix the dried fruits and soak them in rum. Leave to macerate until the dough rises for the first time.

Step 7

Fold the dried fruits with rum into the batter until they are well combined.

Step 8

Place the dough in a paper mold for kulich with a diameter of 18 cm, or in several smaller molds. They should be filled 2/3 of the way full. Set them in a warm place for 1 hour or longer, until the dough rises above the edge of the mold.

Step 9

Place the risen panettone in an oven preheated to 355°F for 40 minutes. To check if it's done, insert a skewer into the center and pull it out — it should come out clean.

Step 10

Insert two long skewers into the hot panettone through the paper mold, positioning them parallel to each other and to the table. Invert the panettone and suspend it on the skewers over a large pot. It should not touch the sides or bottom of the pot. Allow it to cool completely.
