Artisan Panettone

Artisan panettone is a traditional, domed Italian sweet bread originating from Milan, crafted through a labor-intensive, multi-day fermentation process rather than commercial shortcuts.

Made exclusively with a live sourdough starter (lievito madre) that is refreshed daily, avoiding industrial additives or commercial yeast.  Often these starters are generations old and are exclusive to each bakery.  An artisan Panerttone will be airy, feathery, honeycomb-like internal structure (known as alveolatura) achieved by hanging the loaves upside down immediately after baking.  The entire production cycle spans up to 72 hours of mixing and multi-stage proofing.
