Well done! That’s tough to make.

Yeah - I saw a recipe on italiasquisita for pannetone. I thought I'd watch it, as I'd really love some pannetone, and I can't get it here. Yeah, nah. Not a snowball in hell's chance.

Rise to the occasion. Challenge yourself.

It contained starters, and I don't have any starter culture

You can make your own or, get a little starter from King Arthur Flour as well. It's super easy. I have one I've been keeping alive for about 9 months now. Just gotta feed it like once a week, and before you use it. I've left it for 2 weeks before and it's been fine! I also use the discard to make biscuits, pancakes, pizza dough, scones, and more.

Sad for you, I love Pannetone.

Supermarkets here have 20 different varieties, but I guess Australia has a strong Italian cultural influence. Strong enough for our coffee culture to cost Starbucks $600M when they tried to convince us all that their liquid dessert shops were coffee shops.

In a wrapper too

Panettone wrappers are apparently a thing. Didn't realize part of the "traditional style" was the wrapping.

I also thought it was store bought because the Panettone I bought had a similar wrap. After searching specifically for the wrap, I'm not a skeptical.

It also looks very good.

The paper mould is essential to panettone making.

Once the panettone is baked, it has risen quite a bit is prone to collapsing. To prevent this, bakers insert skewers or attach a rack with spikes in it to ‘grab’ the panettone so that it can be inverted. The panettone is hung upside down as it cools. Once cooled, the panettone is ready to be packaged without collapsing.

It is a very popular holiday bread. The best of it can just melt in your mouth.

So are the store bought ones in a box just really low quality?

Store bought is fine for a craving but not amazing. On the flip side, it is very difficult to make properly.

I'd compare the quality of any store bought dessert to homemade and say the same thing.

I've only ever had the store bought. I tell myself every Christmas that I like it and after the first bite I remember it's not for me.

I’m normally not too crazy about them but I bought a dark chocolate and cherry one this year and it was amazing.

That's a beauty! Hope it's even better than storebought. Report back--I need to shake up my bread baking.

I love panettone, I wish I knew how to make it so I could have it all year 🥹

It looks very well done, if it's homemade it's quite impressive.

I am just a sucker for the traditional filling with raisins and candied fruit

My wife got one as part of a gift basket from work, authentic Panettone in a box.

Neither of us was impressed, local grocery store muffins in a plastic container tasted better than this.

That one actually is a chocotonne. Traditional panettones are made with dried fruits

Spent almost eight weeks in Italy as a young man, I love panettone and most other Italian foods. It’s a shame that most Americans will never see beyond the basics of Italian food that they know in America, especially since our country is named after an Italian.
