Here is 1 i made earlier

I love it! I don't want to be too much but I guess they made a little mistake, as it's called "Panettone" the name refers to the "big" size LOL! masha'Allah!

Wow you know your stuff sis because i would never have noticed!

JazakAllahu Khairan

It looks delicious dear sister asma mashaAllah. I am sorry but we usually just post our own pics of the recipes and I have edited the pic of the book recipe as we don't want to breach any copyrights inshaallah. If you could post the recipe whenever you get the time then that would be great inshaallah. 8)

As Salamu Alaikum

Masha Allah that looks yummy sister Asmaa.

for sharing

assalamu alaykum

have u tried to make it sis Asmaa?

Salam alaykum sis, are u referring to the panetone? U know I checked the recipe book from where I took the pan el chicolato and noticed it has the recipe for a panetone on the opposite page.. So they must be different i.e the chocolate / dried fruit etc my husband is taking my recipe book back to the libray tomorrow inshallah or I would try the panetone recipe from it, guess I could find 1 online (when I can be motivated to bake again). Have you baked panetone before sis, if yes, how was it? To be honest the chocolate bread wasn't sweet enough for me but I guess it's supposed to be like that so you actually taste the chocolate lol
