Can you believe this? I filled the can 1/3 full but had lined the can with parchment paper above the level of the lip (good thing!) . This is my second attempt from Floyd's panettone recipe from 2009. http://weightloss-slim.fit/recipes/panettone%3C/a%3E%3C/p%3E%3Cp%3EMy first attempt was not very successful but now I have 5 years of learning how to develop the dough to windowpane and adjust ingredients to achieve the outcome I want. I also reduced the candied/dried fruit to 2 cups total. This one had a preferment with my active sourdough starter and then 1 tsp osmotolerant yeast in the final dough. I had to do a fast production time as I couldn't bake until Christmas Eve-that is why I used the additional yeast. Is the osmotolerant yeast that much more active in enriched doughs? WOW!
No crumb shot as they are not sliced into yet but they smell HEAVENLY!
Great stuff. And I love the can idea.
Enjoy!
Merry Christmas.
As in Manute Bol or Wilt Chamberlain are above-average in height.
That's understatement of truly British proportions.
What you have there is a panettone with aspirations for second billing in Jack and the Beanstalk. Its goals are lofty as it reaches for the skies. It is head and shoulders above its peers. This bread is headed for the top and it will not be denied! Tune in to any of the pre-game shows if you need additional metaphors.
You must have nerves of steel to watch it reach that kind of expansion. I'd have feared it would have collapsed long before it got so tall. Very, very Impressive!

of heat off the can made the difference? Looks like you got two for the bake of one! Good deal! :)
Fruit must really weigh the dough down. God knows what would happen without any fruit!
