Upside Down Panettone

Recipe by ChefSteps

A fluffy, buttery, fruit‑laden panettone that’s baked upside down for extra height. The recipe combines a brioche‑style enriched dough with a sourdough starter, butter, egg yolks, and candied fruit, then hangs the loaf upside down after baking so it stretches even more. The result is a light, airy holiday bread with big open holes and a fragrant hint of red mandarin essential oil.
