Directions

  1. 1Prepare the emulsion the night before: melt white chocolate and hot butter together.
  2. 2Add honey, marsala, and vanilla extract to the melted chocolate and butter mixture.
  3. 3Stir the emulsion and let it rest in the fridge overnight, covered with plastic wrap for 5-6 hours.
  4. 4The following day, prepare the yeast starter by dissolving brewer's yeast in warm milk.
  5. 5Combine flour and sugar with the yeast mixture, stir, and let it rise for half an hour, covered with plastic wrap.
  6. 6In the planetary mixer, insert the flours, the yeast starter, eggs, egg whites, and water.
  7. 7When the dough takes shape, add sugar a little at a time.
  8. 8Once the sugar is totally absorbed, add butter combined with salt, always a little at a time.
  9. 9When the butter is incorporated, insert the emulsion along with the rind of a lemon and an orange.
  10. 10Butter the work surface and turn the dough upside down, letting it rest for 15 minutes.
  11. 11Give the dough a few folds, wait 10 minutes, and repeat the operation.
  12. 12Butter the pandoro mold well and insert the dough loaf inside.
  13. 13Let the dough rise in the oven, preferably with the light on, for 6 hours, until it reaches the edge of the mold.
  14. 14Bake the pandoro at 180° for the first 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 160° for another 40 minutes.
  15. 15If the surface darkens too much, place aluminum foil on top.
  16. 16Let the pandoro rest for 20 minutes in the mold before unmolding it.
  17. 17Once completely cooled, dust generously with icing sugar.
