That looks good
Gemma, your Italian bread is just pure perfection. Keep on glowing, and never stop inspiring people to bake. š¤š¤š¤
Bread look good hooe you have good weekend gemma
You kept away the salt but then you mixed it together? Just confused..š¤
This looks like the most beautiful bread Iāve ever seen!!š¤©š
Why separate salt and yeast but then mix dry ingredients together
What size regular baking pan could this work in other than the round shape? Did you show him the video?
The Best Gemma thank you very much bless to your family š
Hi, Gemma, thank u for sharing your recipe which looks encouraging to try baking! Can I know to what stage I should knead the dough to? And the idea dough temperature when kneading completed? Also, the size of your paper mold? Thank you so so much in advance! šš
thanks ā¤ā¤ā¤

Cold cubed butter or softened? The subtitle said softened.
Thank you so much posting this amazing recipe it's so decadent and delicious for Christmas celebrations ā¤ā¤ā¤ā¤
Won't the salt deactivate the yeast when you mix the two together?
How much is exactly 1/16 yeast??
Can I skip eggs
You just took this up a notch. Because I canāt pull this off Gemma. Love ā¤ļø a good Pannettone. Its not Christmas here without this delicious sweet bread ā¤ā¤š¤“ššāļøššāļøšØš¦
I make one of these later in the month so I can make French toast casserole. Great recipe, šš¤© Happy Holidays to you and your family.
One of my favourites. Thanks Gemma you read my mind I was thinking of buying one but your recipe looks better. I can almost smell it from here.
Hi Gemma, what can I use as a substitute for Fiori di Sicilia flavoring?
