What is Panettone?
Panettone is a traditional Italian festive cake enjoyed especially during the Christmas and New Year season. This specialty originated in Milan. The history of the modern Panettone is closely linked to the Milanese baker Angelo Motta; in 1919, he refined the tall, airy shape that remains iconic today. By using sourdough yeast and a longer fermentation process, he created a Panettone with significantly more volume and a lighter texture.
Today, Panettone is produced both industrially and by Italian *pasticcerie* (pastry shops) using traditional artisanal methods.
How is this Classic Panettone made?
It is crafted using a natural wheat flour sourdough starter, or *Lievito Madre*. The dough preparation process spans approximately 72 hours and includes several slow resting phases.
After baking, the panettone is cooled upside down for about 12 hours. This ensures it retains its signature height and characteristic light, airy crumb.
Small-batch production allows for meticulous handling of ingredients and consistently high product quality.
