Panettone with dates and pistachios

Panettone is one of the most popular treats during advent and Christmas holidays. The home-made versions taste far better than even the top quality shop-bought ones. Also, you can add your favourite dried fruits and nuts, or you can make it dairy-free, gluten-free, sugar-free etc according to your diet. It’s really easy to make it in a bread machine, particularly if it has a brioche setting. This panettone with dates and pistachios is delicious, soft and makes a perfect gift too.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients

1½ tsp yeast
400 g strong white flour
4½ Tbsp sugar
1 tsp Salt
50 g butter or dairy-free margarin – cut into 2cm cubes
2 medium eggs beaten
200 m milk or plant-based alternative – warmed to room temperature
For later in cycle:
70 g butter or dairy-free margarine – cut into 2cm cubes
25 g chopped candied citrus peel
25 g sultanas
50 g chopped dates
50 g chopped pistachios unsalted

Method

Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the order listed – unless the manual of your machine suggests otherwise.
Set the machine to Brioche setting, or the basic bread setting if you don’t have brioche setting.
Machines with a Brioche cycle will beep to when to put in the extra butter, nuts & fruits. If yours doesn’t beep, then add them about 10 minutes before the end of the first kneading cycle i.e. about 60 minutes from starting.
When the panettone is ready, carefully remove it from the tin to a wire-rack and let it cool completely before slicing it.
