Breakfast 🍳Dessert 🍰Snack 🍿 Italian 🇮🇹 Low-SodiumVegetarian 🥦Halal 🕌Kosher ✡️Pescatarian 🐟

Light Panettone swaps butter for olive oil and uses stevia and a touch of sugar-free candied fruit for a gently sweet flavor. Studded with raisins, blueberries, and apricots, it bakes up tender and airy with a delicate golden crust. Serve it for a festive breakfast or as an afternoon treat with coffee or tea.

Light Panettone
  1. 1

    Mix 1/4 cup lukewarm water, 1/3 of the flour, and the yeast in a bowl and dissolve the yeast. Cover with a clean dish towel and let it rise in a warm place, 8 hours to overnight.

  2. 2

    Stir in another 1/3 of the flour and enough warm water to make the dough soft and elastic. Knead, cover, and let it rise in a warm place, about 2 hours. Add the remaining flour and a few tablespoons of warm water, knead into a soft, elastic dough, cover, and let it rise in a warm place, about 3 hours.

  3. 3

    Work in the eggs, olive oil, raisins, blueberries, apricots, stevia, candied fruit, and sweetener, and knead everything into a soft dough. Place the dough in a panettone mold, cover, and let it rise in a warm place until the dough has almost doubled, about 1 hour.

  4. 4

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  5. 5

    Bake in the preheated oven until the panettone is baked through and lightly browned, about 45 minutes.
