Delicious Pistachio Panettone Recipe for Everyone

Start by mixing the dry ingredients. In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well until evenly distributed.

Next, in another bowl, whisk together the warm milk, butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Create a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the wet ingredients.

Stir until a rough dough forms, and then knead it for about 10-15 minutes on a floured surface until it is smooth and elastic.

Place the kneaded dough in a lightly greased bowl. Cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. Allow it to rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

After the first rise, punch down the dough to release excess air. Gently incorporate the chopped pistachios into the dough. Shape it into a ball and place it into a panettone mold or a high-sided cake pan.

Cover the dough and let it rise again for about 1 hour, until it fills the mold.

Preheat your oven to 175 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Once the dough has risen, transfer the panettone to the oven.

Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until it is golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom. If the top browns too quickly, you can loosely cover it with aluminum foil.

Remove the panettone from the oven and allow it to cool in the mold for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Let it cool completely before serving. This delicious pistachio panettone can be enjoyed fresh or stored in an airtight container for a few days.
