Panettone (Bread Machine)
"(This recipe is from "The best bread machine cookbook ever") This Christmas bread from Milan is now available around the world, packed in domed boxes by huge Italian bakeries. The panettone from your own bread machine, though, will be softer, fruitier, and more buttery. Cut into wedges or thick slices for Christmas morning, or slice thinnier for a New Year's Day dessert buffet. Panettone can be turned into fine French toast that is sweet enough to forgo maple syrup."
