Homemade Italian Panettone (Panettone italiano)

Christmas is approaching very soon, and someone may think I'm getting ahead of myself, but time goes by so quickly, and given the daily life, sometimes I do not know when I will make a new recipe.  So I said I want to start with Christmas.  Yesterday I made these panettones (delicious) and today I take the pictures so with this I started the Christmas recipes. Some time ago I wanted to make panettone again, I always do Stollen (which we all love) but the panettone is better for my mom who eats it well and likes it with tea (you know she is not well and eats only some food) . And here is the traditional Christmas bread my mom made, (now Esperanza make it)) The recipe is awesome, you just have to have the patience to wait a bit because it has to go up but it was not a problem, in between I turned on the soft oven and finished uploading so I did everything yesterday . If you want  look more  recipes  about these season search in my labels: Christmas recipes. Adapted from : Chatela
