  1. Excellent!!! Light texture with a fine crumb and a delicious, light flavor. It was just the recipe I've been looking for since Panettone is usually available here only during the holidays - an we love it for breakfast. Drizzling the glaze on the top makes it just perfect, and very attractive for gift-giving.<br/><br/>I made two changes, but it was probably great just the way it's written. Since I had to thaw 1 pound (1-1/2 cups) of the candied fruit, I used the entire package. Doubling the amount of fruit was just right for me. I also added 1/2 tsp. of tangerine oil for flavoring which suited my taste.<br/><br/>I baked half of the dough in 8-inch pan as suggested (baked 35 min.), and placed the remainder in four mini-angel food pans (baled 18 min.). Both methods cooked to perfection with nice golden crusts.<br/><br/>I plan to make this often, especially in the smaller size, wrap and store in the freezer to have for hostess gifts and our Sunday morning breakfasts.<br/><br/>Thanks, Barb, for this wonderful recipe which I happily added to my cookbook.
     
  2. The bread had a nice texture, light with the right amount of fruit/nuts/raisins. I put a couple of tablespoons of rum on the fruit letting it sit while the dough was rising. I have been trying different recipes for the last few years. This one is the keeper and will be part of our christmas breakfast for years to come. Thanks for sharing.
     
  3. I have no idea what went wrong. All I got was grainy, dry mess.
