I have not posted in a while and I thought I would start again with a Buche de Noel. I think the last time I made one of these I was at school. So glad it ended up like it did, icing sugar hides a multitude of sins 😂

Horrible windy day, need cheering up with some toffee apple cake. Should have been decorated with apple crisps, but I got distracted and burnt them. Not everything always goes to plan 😂

Mini Panettones

These are just gorgeous bites of loveliness and so easy to make. My family just love them.

For these I use a bread machine on the dough setting, but they can be made the traditional way. If using a machine it is important the you follow the instructions for your machine. Mine likes to have all the wet ingredients go in first, followed by the dry and then the flavourings. Some machines vary and of course if you are making these by hand you start with the dry ingredients and then add the wet until it forms a dough.

I also use a silicone muffin tray with is just perfect for these little bites of heaven as they come away from the tray easily and anything that makes life easier is always a bonus. They come out looking like champagne corks.
Ingredients

75g Butter, softened
50g Candied Peel
100g Sultanas
100g Dried Cranberries
2tbsp Spiced Rum
425g Strong White Bread Flour
60g Caster Sugar
1 tsp Fine Salt
2 tsp Fast Acting Yeast
160ml Tepid Water
3 Eggs, 1 beaten to be used as a wash
1 Orange, grated rind only

In a bowl mix together the candied peel, sultanas, dried cranberries and 2 tbsp of rum. Cover and leave to stand overnight so that the fruit soaks up all the lovely rum and become fat and juicy.

In the base of bread machine, pour in the tepid water, softened butter, caster sugar, salt and 2 whisked eggs. On top of the liquid put the strong white flour. Lastly put in 2 tsp of fast acting yeast. Turn the machine onto the dough setting and start the programme.

Once the machine has been going for about 10 minutes pour in the soaked fruit and the grated rind of the orange.

When the programme has finished divide the dough into 12 balls and place in a 12 hole muffin tin.
Brush with egg and leave to prove for about 45 minutes or until risen.

Bake in the oven at 190C/Gas 5 for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and well risen. How easy was that, now all that is left is to tuck in before they all disappear.
