Preparation

Step 1

For the Panettone dough, mix water, yeast, salt, honey, eggs, melted butter, extracts, and lemon zest in a stand mixer bowl or a large container.

Step 2

Mix in dried fruit and flour without kneading, using a paddle attachment, Danish dough whisk, or spoon. Use wet hands to incorporate the last bit of flour if needed.

Step 3

Cover (not airtight) and let rest at room temperature for 2 hours until dough rises.

Step 4

Chill the dough for at least 2 hours, or up to 5 days.

Step 5

On baking day, butter ten 3 x 2-inch soufflé molds and line bottoms with parchment paper, coat with granulated sugar.

Step 6

In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt for the filling.

Step 7

Remove 2 pounds of dough, knead a few times, shape into a ball, and let rest covered with a tea towel for 15-20 minutes.

Step 8

Roll dough into a 16 x 12-inch rectangle, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly, pressing lightly.

Step 9

Roll the dough into a tight cylinder, pinch seam to seal, and cut into 10 equal pieces. Place into prepared pans cut side up.

Step 10

Cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled, 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

Step 11

Preheat oven to 350F and bake for 22 to 30 minutes, rotating pan halfway through, until golden brown.

Step 12

Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly, then flip out of molds using a kitchen towel and a knife. Let cool for 5 minutes.

Step 13

For the icing, mix cream cheese, salt, vanilla, and 2 tablespoons water until smooth. Add confectioners’ sugar, add more water to reach desired consistency.

Step 14

Pour icing over rolls and serve warm.

Chef's notes

The recipe makes more dough than needed; leftover dough can be refrigerated for 5 days or frozen for 3 weeks.
For freezing, divide dough into 1-2 pound portions, seal, and defrost in the refrigerator before use.
