Panettone is a traditional soft cake dessert in the region of Milan, Lombardy, but can be found everywhere around Italy during the Christmas holidays. It is the big holiday treat that everyone wants! You will notice it by its large, sweet, bread like appearance. There is Panettone with raisins, without raisins, chocolate, vanilla, powdered sugar, plain, just about every flavor.
Unfortunately, what you will find in the supermarkets or even fresh bakeries, is not vegan friendly.
There is one website we found where you can buy vegan panettone. Shipment is only within Italy. It is 9 Euro for a 750 gram panettone.

Hi there! I want to make this for christmas but my mother is allergic to yeast, have you got an idea for any alternative ways to make this?
The recipes look delicious! Keep up the great work, I can post one of your recipes with a link to your site, just let me know 🙂
Thanks, Stacie
thank you for this recipe..i can’t wait to try it….will it be light and airy like a traditional panettone?
It will be even better 🙂
Always depends the flour you use, if you use whole wheat flour its a bit more dense, but not too much. Enjoy!!
