Basso Milanese Panettone - 500g

A grand take on the traditional Italian Christmas cake, this Basso Milanese Panettone is made with mother yeast that takes at least 30 hours to rise, then filled with a generous helping of candied fruit and raisins.  This panettone is basso, or short as it is smaller than the regular panettone size without giving up it's traditional fluffy texture. 

In 1932, in his family bakery at the centre of Villafranca, in Piemonte, Vincenzo Bonifanti created his own personal twist on the classic Italian Christmas cake, enhancing the recipe with prized Piemontese hazelnuts and the strict use of only natural yeast, creating an outstanding cake that is in a class of its own.
