Mini Panettone with photo

[Aussie Brenda]

Gert I love panettone I have tried twice over the years to make one but they weren't that successful .

Give this one a try Brenda. Did it in a pot in the oven. Dead easy. I don't even like them and I loath. Custard but DH loves it. Just a spur of the moment bored thing and lucky it worked out except for the big hole in the centre. Really surprised myself. I used apricots and cranberries but you could use any dried fruit I guess.

Help please.  I love Panettone.  Last year bought very expensive Italian ones for gifts for special people.  Then someone gave me one.  It was much nicer than the ones that I bought.  On checking, it came from Aldi. What I likes was the slight , wine taste.  I think it was Masala.
Question, could I soak the fruit in Masala before adding. ?

Don't see why not Chookie. I was delighted to see this post as I had completely forgotten I had made that panettone for Ted and it was when he started to become ill from his cancer.  Seems a long time ago.  34 here today!!!

That sounds perfect Chookie. I was thinking about this recipe. I think I will be a copy cat, I have some marsala in the pantry.

Thank all.  Just for interest.  When in Lygon St. Carlton last week, an Italian deli had tastings of their Panettone. The top priced large ones were $70 and the medium ones $40.

Gosh.

I couldn't resist making these yesterday using the little pudding tins I bought in Adelaide.

I can't remember ever having panettone so I don't have anything to compare to but these are lovely.  I noted a couple of changes some had made;  so I used bakers flour, sultanas and craisins for the mixed fruit and mainly apricots with a little dried papaya with lime instead of mixed peel. I also cut down the sugar to 60g and they were perfect.

I only have 8 of the tins so I put what was left over into a 6 inch tin.

Wasn't sure how you are supposed to eat it but once cooled I had one sliced in half and buttered. Have now put the rest in the freezer. 

I’ve ordered more of the little tins as they are so nice to use and the breads fell straight out without having to grease them.
 
Great adaption Cookie, will make again for sure

They look delicious JulieO. I’m planning to soak some fruit in Marsala to make some.

As usual JulieO your photos are wonderful.

Thank you Chookie and Cookie 

Soaking the fruit sounds good Cookie would add a nice taste I think. 

Did you see Tenina's latest video where she uses a shop bought panettone and cuts it into 3 rounds and sandwiches it with a filling made in the TM?  I could probably use the larger one that I froze to make that.  Would be much smaller of course but that would be better.  Might be a nice alternative for Christmas day and could be made a couple of days ahead. Will add the link.

Yes I did see that.  It looks delicious. I would make a smaller one too JulieO.

Those look perfect JulieO.👌

[JulieO]

Thanks Cornish.

I'm afraid there's only the bigger one left now which I want to keep to make a Tenina recipe.  DH has been loving these.

I was never impressed with those you buy but having made this recipe a long time ago I still remember how nice they were.  I went around the neighbourhood giving the excess to those who wanted to try them and froze some which I’m sure I would have used for bread and butter pudding.  Yours look gorgeous in those little tins Julie.
