Italian panettone has quickly become just as much an American holiday tradition as it has in Italy. This Christmas bread is typically filled with dried fruits and nuts that are sometimes alcohol-soaked–similar to an Irish fruitcake. The process to make panettone can take days depending on the recipe, but this version is so easy, it is ready to go in just a few hours. I prefer chocolate to fruit in my panettone, and mini chocolate chips provide a big enough flavor, but are small enough to nicely fold into the dough.
