Step 3 Panettone Starter and Refreshes

| 390g | (100%) | TOTAL |
Place all the ingredients in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook.
Knead on low speed until the dough is smooth.
Shape the starter into a ball and score a cross on it with a knife. Place the starter in a container covered with plastic wrap in a proofing cabinet at 28°C for 3½ to 4 hours. The starter should triple in volume.
Repeat this process one or two times to obtain a starter strong enough to make the first batch of dough.

| 164g | (16,7%) | Water |
| 84g | (8,6%) | Sugar |

| 982g | (100%) | TOTAL |
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, pour in the water and granulated sugar, add the flour and sourdough starter, and knead on the first speed, then on the second speed, until the dough is smooth and firm. Add the egg yolks, then the butter, and knead again until the dough pulls away from the sides of the bowl (25°C).
Transfer this initial dough to a container or bucket, taking care to mark the dough level.
Place in the proofing cabinet for 8 to 12 hours at 28°C.
The dough should triple in volume.
Step 5 Second Dough
| 955g | (45,9%) | First Dough |
| 131g | (6,3%) | 00 Flour |
| 110g | (5,3%) | Sugar |

| 20g | (1%) | Sobacha ( |
| 2079g | (100%) | TOTAL |
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook, knead the first dough with the flour on low speed. When the dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl, add the sugar, salt, honey, and half of the egg yolks. When the dough pulls away from the sides again, gradually incorporate the butter, the remaining egg yolks, and the water. Finally, add the cubes of filling and the sobacha.
Place in a proofing cabinet for 45 minutes at 28°C before shaping.
Q.S. Paper panettone molds, 500 g
Divide the dough and shape it into 550 g balls on a work surface.
Round the dough a second time before placing the balls in the paper molds.
Place in a proofing cabinet for 5 to 6 hours at 28 °C.
The panettone is ready to bake when the domed part of the dough reaches 3/4 of the way up the mold.
Step 6 Crunchy Almond Glaze
| 20g | (21.1%) | Egg whites |
| 50g | (52,6%) | Sugar |
| 25g | (26,3%) | Almond powder |
| QS | Grain sugar | |
| QS | Hazelnut | |
| 95g | (100%) | TOTAL |
Mix all the ingredients together.
Using a piping bag, pipe a spiral of icing onto the surface of each panettone.
Sprinkle with coarse sugar and chopped hazelnuts, then bake immediately at 165°C for 35 minutes. The panettone is done when its internal temperature reaches 92°C.
Once removed from the oven, use panettone skewers to hang them upside down until they have cooled completely.
Board
Sobacha is a traditional Japanese product that translates to “buckwheat tea” or “buckwheat infusion.” It is made from buckwheat seeds that are polished before roasting, which gives it toasty notes and a crunchy texture. It should not be confused with Kasha, which is made from hulled but unpolished buckwheat seeds.
