Dark Chocolate Panettone

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Chocolate Panettone is the modern answer to prayers for a fruit-free version. This 'Goloso' (gluttonous) version relies on quality dark chocolate chunks that melt into little pools during baking, then firm up into crunchy nuggets when cool. The vanilla-scented buttery dough meeting cocoa is pure joy.

Instructions

1 ✓

Proof yeast in warm milk with a pinch of sugar (10 mins).

Tip: Sugar feeds the yeast.
2 ✓

Mix flour, sugar, salt. Add eggs, yeast mixture, and lukewarm melted butter.

Tip: Melted butter distributes easily but must not be hot.
3 ✓

Knead for at least 10 minutes until elastic.

Tip: Good Panettone requires thorough kneading.
4 ✓

Fold in the chopped chocolate. Rise for 60 mins warm.

Tip: Use good chocolate; the cocoa butter provides flavor.
5 ✓

Shape, put in mold, rise 30 mins.

Tip: Handle gently during the second rise to preserve gas bubbles.
6 ✓

Bake at 340°F (170°C) for 40-45 mins. Cool.

Tip: Check for doneness carefully as chocolate on the skewer can be misleading.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use chocolate chips?
Yes, chips hold their shape well. However, chopped bar chocolate melts more rustically.
Will the chocolate burn?
Exposed chocolate on top might burn. Try to tuck the chunks inside the dough ball when shaping.
