PANDORO DI VERONA
Posted by request. This is my family's recipe for Pandoro, this bread/cake is similar to "Panettone" but does not contain the candied fruit peels and citron. It is a time consuming recipe, as there are 4 rises for a total rising time of 5 to 6 hours, and 3 "rests" for the dough for a total "resting time" of 1 hour; so its best to start it early in the day. The prep time listed is for the mixing/kneading, and does not include the rising and resting time. A special form/pan is needed for this recipe, please see note. Jan.5, 2011 - Steps 13 and 14 have been corrected.

Steps:
- To make the poolish (a yeasted fermented starter dough), pour 75ml warm water into a large bowl. Tip in the yeast and sugar and stir to dissolve. Add the flour and stir to combine. Cover and leave in a warm spot for 1-1 ½ hrs until doubled in size.
- Heat the milk until just warmed through and steaming. In the bowl of a stand mixer, tip in the yeast, 1 tbsp of the sugar and the warmed milk and whisk gently. Leave for 10-15 mins until frothy. Add the remaining sugar, flour and egg yolks. Slowly beat together using the dough hook attachment for 5 mins until thoroughly combined. Add the poolish mixture, lemon zest, vanilla, honey and a large pinch of salt. Increase the mixer speed and add the butter gradually for a further 10-15 mins, until soft, smooth and elastic.
- Lightly butter a clean bowl and transfer the dough to it. Cover and leave to rise for 1-2 hrs until doubled in size. Generously butter a 1kg pandoro tin, getting into all the crevices, add a couple of tbsp of flour and shake, dusting all over the inside and making sure it's covered. Knock the dough back in the bowl for 1 min, then shape into a ball. Transfer to the prepared tin, seam-side up. Cover and allow to rise for 1-2 hrs, until it almost reaches the top of the tin.
- Heat the oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Bake for 25-30 mins, then reduce the heat to 150C/130C fan/gas 2 and bake for a further 30 mins until golden brown on top and a skewer inserted into the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 10 mins, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Dust generously with icing sugar to serve.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, whisk together the cream, mascarpone, half the sherry, 3/ 4 of the zest and the icing sugar until the mixture is floppy and just holds its shape.
- Cut the pandoro horizontally into five slices. Put the bottom piece on a serving plate or cake stand and drizzle over a little of the remaining sherry. Spoon over a quarter of the cream mixture and top with a handful of the almonds (saving enough for each layer and to decorate the top). Add the next layer of pandoro and continue to sandwich the layers together, rotating each at a different angle so that you create the shape of a Christmas tree.
- Dust with icing sugar, then dot over the gold leaf (if using) along with the remaining almonds and orange zest.
