  • Mix the flour together with the previous mixture for a minimum of 5 minutes in order to generate the gluten.
  • It is very important to add the salt at the same time as the butter, but never the orange paste at the same time as this can split the mixture.
  • Mix well and at the final stage, add the chocolate.
  • Leave to cool for 1 hour all together.
  • Once this hour has passed, weigh out 750 grams of panettone and make into a ball shape. Leave to rest in wooden containers for 30 minutes.
  • Shape the pieces and put them into the moulds.
  • Ferment for 7 hours. Once fermented, put the glaze and sugar on top.
  • Bake at 150 °C for 40 minutes until the interior reaches 92 °C.
  • Pierce the panettone once it has come out of the oven and turn upside down until it has cooled.
