Method
1
Mix warm water, yeast and 1 tbsp of the sugar. Let it sit until it starts foaming – approx. 15 minutes.
2
In another bowl, whisk eggs, vanilla, lemon zest, salt and the rest of the sugar until it is light and thick. Add the yeast mixture.
3
Heat Lurpak® butter until it starts to melt.
4
Add flour to the egg mix little by little, starting with 180g and then add the melted Lurpak® butter. Mix the rest of the flour into the mix (you might not need all the flour. The dough should not be too sticky nor dry).
5
Knead the dough for 10 minutes until it feels soft and pliable.
6
Put the dough in a bowl greased with a bit of oil. Then cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and let it rise in a warm spot for an hour.
7
Beat the dough and press it into a rectangular shape. Sprinkle zest and raisins over the dough and cover it with a clean tea towel and let it rise in a warm spot for another 30 minutes.
8
Set the oven to 180C/ 160C fan/ gas mark 4.
9
Grease a 12cm high Panettone mould with butter.

Bake for another 35 minutes.
