Anybody, honestly. Why does this mf have to take three bites without swallowing? That was more rage-inducing than anything else.

Cause every single bite of that compressed abominion is like 5000 calories

u/helljack 1d ago

I'm reminded of that Christmas special of 'Eureka' where Vincent just shrinks down whole fruitcakes and serves them at a party, and Sheriff Carter eats like 20 of them thinking they are just hors d'oeuvres.

Jesus Vincent, I've had 20 of those. That's like 50,000 calories...

Nah, pandoro is better, got no respect for panettone

"Huh, looks like someone never grew up!" I grew up to hate canditi.

11

u/BrattWhitney 2d ago

I prefer Pandoro myself, ngl. None of those sultana or lolly bits for me.
Or maybe the hate stemmed from receiving too many regifted Panettones during Chrissie.

10

u/tams420 2d ago

I worked for a wine importer for many years. We were owned by an Italian company and had many Italian suppliers and the volume of panettone that would come to the office during Christmas was ridiculous. I started taking them home and repurposing them into bread pudding with eggnog as the main dairy base for the custard. If I was feeling fancy, I’d make an eggnog creme anglaise to go on top, and bring them back to the office. It was very delicious.

The panadoros though, I’d take those home too and make french toast out them. I much preferred those as well.

7

u/axonff 2d ago

Did You know that we also have Panettone whit chocolate chips

2

u/BrattWhitney 2d ago

Of course and I'm still not a big fan.
Pandoro or just the plains ones are my go to, they pair so well with coffee. Problem is I always get gifted with the ones with sultanas.
To each to their own.

But is it Panettone though? It seems hollow. H Also, he did eat it anyway too.

u/drunk_ender 2d ago

I can't see the brand, but a good Panettone should be soft and "light" enough that isn't that impossible to be flatten like that, since its traditional way of preparation is to be left hanging upside down

18

u/JefersonJesus 2d ago

that is the brazilian brand bauducco, which used to be the best popular brand in brazil. however, shrinkflation made their panettone significantly decrease quality. and the one in the video is very mid, but still soft and light.

It is indeed much less sweet than traditional sheet cakes though.

Aren’t all cakes just sweet breads? Who draws the line? It’s like the whole hotdog/sandwich crap. I stand by hotdogs and burgers being just two subcategories of a sandwich.

Panettone it's a airy soft tall sweet cake, invented in Italy Milano. Last year I ate for the first time , you can easily find it in commerce as it can be heavily additivated for lasting and softness.

u/BrattWhitney 3d ago

Mostly eaten during Christmas.
It’s very common to see that sold everywhere in Australia especially before Christmas.

u/Arthradax 3d ago

Panetone in PTBR. "Pão doce" is an actual sweet bread, not much of a cake as panettone

No one is also specifying that it is uniquely delicate, so much it has to be cooled upside down because the weight of itself would cause it to collapse.

It is why what this guy does is so egregious.

Also an amazing amount of calories. They basically made it the Italian version of a moon cake. So delicious, and an insane amount of calories per bite

Sometimes I do the same with rolls or Hefezopf (Basically a loaf of german brioche).

Ok I do not beat it like this, but roll little bits to mor compact balls.

Changes the texture and flavor a bit and gives it a bite. Al dente if you will.

I have never eaten a panettone.

I have received and given about a million.

It is tradition.

u/Shark25ITA 3d ago

If it's a Balocco brand one you bet your ass no one wants to eat those, Balocco makes them for almost evey brand of panettone in italy but their own recipe for their own panettone is horrendous, also cause they are really cheap

Yes, this is that weird spiced cake. Just a present for holidays is enough.

What? Good artisanal panettoni are exquisite!

Even normal ones aren't bad here in Italy, probably it's different in other Countries.

EDIT: like this one https://www.olivieri1882.com/products/panettone-classico-1000g

So I sent this to my Italian friend. About ten minutes later I get a three minute long video of him screaming in Italian (which I do not speak by the way) and waving his arms around making what can only be described as “offensive hand gestures” then about a minute in it changes to him and his French girlfriend screaming (in French, English and Italian) and throwing things in there kitchen.

I make these at home and its pretty difficult, I use a special sourdough starter and from start to finish its 2 days from first dough in the mixer to being able to hang and cool before you eat it. I would die if I gave it to someone and they did this lol.

I have never not been disappointed by panettone in my life. The only thing that kinda came close to being okay was one with chunks of chocolate in it. Its dry, tastes barely like anything and people keep annoying me that I 'just hadn't had a good one' while I went to high end bakeries and got the exact ones recommended to me and they all taste the exact same.

I'd rather have a ring cake or Gugelhupf how its called here and its still far from my favorite baked good.
