Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour (plus extra to dust the pan)
0.5 cup sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
0.5 tsp ground cloves
0.5 tsp salt
1 Tbsp fresh lemon zest
1 pkg active dry yeast
0.75 cup butter (cut into chunks; plus extra to butter the pan)
0.5 cup warm milk
5 egg yolks
2 Tbsps Orange peel (finely chopped)
1.5 cups mixed Candied fruit (chopped)
1 cup raisins (dusted with)
0.5 cup dried Cherries (or cranberries)
1 Tbsp butter (melted)
powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, spices, salt, lemon zest, yeast and butter. Add warm milk and egg yolks. Mix or knead the dough into a smooth ball until dough is no longer sticky. Cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm spot until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Punch down the dough and transfer it to a lightly floured work surface. Flatten out the dough and knead and fold the orange rind, candied fruit, raisins and cherries into the dough.
Form the dough into a ball. Grease a panettone pan or a paper mold with butter and dust lightly with flour. Transfer dough to prepared pan, cover with a clean kitchen towel and let rest for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350º F.
Brush the top of the panettone with melted butter. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until golden brown and a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Dust with confectioners' sugar. Serve.
