**For this recipe you will need 4 tin cans - ones which need opening with a tin opener not ones with a ring pull **
Ingredients
  • 250g strong brown flour (white would work but I only had brown!) + extra for dusting
  • 1 x 7g sachet of instant yeast
  • 70ml luke warm milk
  • 3 eggs + 1 for an egg wash
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 120g unsalted butter (room temperature)
  • 100g chocolate chips (I used milk and plain)
  • 400g tinned black cherries
Instructions
  1. Place the flour, yeast, sugar, salt , milk and eggs in the bowl of a free standing mixer, add the dough hook and on a slow speed start mixing the ingredients for about 8 minutes, stopping half way to scrape down the dough and ensure it all gets mixed.
  2. Add the softened butter and mix for another 8 minutes and scrape down the bowl periodically again to make sure that the dough mixes well. It will be very soft.
  3. Add the cherries and chocolate chips and mix.
  4. Cover the bowl with cling film and place in the fridge for at least 6 hours to firm up to make it easier to use
  5. After the 6 hours , grease your tins well with melted butter and cut disks of grease proof paper to sit at the bottom of each tin and cut out striups the same width as your tins, and cover the inside walls of the tins too.
  6. Remove the dough from the fridge, dust your work top with flour and carefully remove the dough and place on your work surface and divide into 4
  7. Make the dough portions into fat rolls and push into each tin. Then cover and leave to rise at room temperature for about 1-2 hours - the dough needs to reach the top of the tins.
  8. Pre heat the oven to 180oC / 160oC (fan)
  9. Brush each of the panettones with egg wash
  10. Place the tins on a baking tray and cook in the oven for about 25 -30 minutes until the tops are golden brown and cooked through (use a skewer if needed) and the tops sound hollow when tapped.
  11. Once cooked, remove and allow to cool before removing from the tin - which they should do easily.
  12. Enjoy
