This was a good loaf. Did not taste like panettone. Rose so high it hit the top of the bread machine. Next time I will use less yeast only 1 1/2tsp and add more vanilla extract and will add some almond extract and more dried fruit. Could use more sugar as well. Upddate: made this bread again today. This time reduced yeast to 1 1/2 tsp, upped the sugar to 1/4 cup, reduced the salt to 1 tsp. Added 2 tsp vanilla and almond extract. Added 1 cup mixed fruit(golden raisins and mixed dried peel). These changes now make it a 5 star authentic Italian panettone. Spoken by a 100% Italian person.

Great recipe however it needs more sugar and more but much more raisins, dried and candied fruits. The bread texture is the same from the manufactures. I also want to try with chocolate chunks.

I don't have a bread machine, so I used these ingredients in my stand mixer using a standard bread method, and it turned out great! I did add 2 eggs for richness. I used chopped dried papaya, mango, and pineapple from the health food store, and a few raisins. I will use double the fruit next time. Makes 1 standard loaf, and rises way up over the pan. We used the leftover for french toast on Christmas morning. This will be our new traditional Christmas breakfast!

Easy to toss ingredients in the bread machine and go about other baking. Lovely product.

I consider myself pretty good in the kitchen, and this recipe does not taste anything like the real italian panettone. It's not as sweet and doesn't have as much dried fruit/raisons. If you notice in the other reviews, people have had to tweak this recipe quite a bit to get it to taste better. I suppose the recipe has potential if you want to experiment with it.

I made this bread with dried figs, apricot and banana. I added a peel of orange zest. It turned out perfect!!!! The only thing I would do next time is, I am gonna select medium crust. I made it light and it is too light for my taste.

I just made this for the first time last night and it turned out perfect. I immediately cut a slice and it was wonderful. I highly recommend this if you need a bread quickly.

I did not care for this recipe.I have to say, I use my bread machine all the time so nothing went wrong with that. This bread is nothing like Panettone, it's not sweet at all and the amount of dried fruit does not even come close. Mine tasted salty.
