dipping

Ingredients

SINFONIA CARAMEL ORO

280g

Preparation

Melt the coverdecord white at 50 degrees, add the sinfonia caramel oro in tempera and dip the panettone

Final composition

Once leavening is complete, leave the panettone exposed to the air for 20-25 minutes so that a skin forms on the surface.
-With a sharp knife, make two superficial incisions forming a cross (the cuts to be made on the surface of the panettone must not be too deep and are necessary to give the finished product its characteristic and traditional shape).
-Cut the four edges under the skin and insert a small knob of cold butter in the center of the panettone.
-Cook at 165-185°C for variable times depending on the weight (approximately 35-40 minutes for 500 gram panettone, 50-60 minutes for 1000 gram panettone), until reaching 93-94°C at the core.
-Upon exiting the oven, turn the panettone upside down, using the appropriate panettone turners.
- Freshly baked panettone must be left to cool upside down for 8-10 hours before packaging in moplefan bags.
