Sourdough Panettone
True Italian Method, Not the Shortcut
Sourdough panettone is often considered the pinnacle of enriched bread baking — a towering, cloud-soft loaf filled with aromatic fruit and citrus, developed entirely from a lively lievito madre. While its reputation is intimidating, this recipe breaks the process into clear, approachable stages, turning a multi-day project into a deeply satisfying rhythm of mixing, folding, and careful proofing. The payoff is extraordinary: a feather-light crumb, incredible depth of flavor, and that unmistakable panettone perfume that fills the whole kitchen. It’s a true labor of love, but once you slice into your first homemade one, it’s impossible not to feel proud.
