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.

Critical Success Points

  • Incorporate butter gradually to avoid tearing the gluten network
  • Fold the dough during bulk fermentation to trap air
  • Hang the baked loaf upside down while it cools to preserve height

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot oven and hot bread with oven mitts to avoid burns
  • Food‑grade essential oils are highly concentrated; use only the specified amount
  • Do not ingest essential oil directly
