Method

  1. Beat the eggs and yolk in a small jug. In a large bowl mix the flours, yeast, sugar, bacon, rosemary and ½ tsp salt. Add the egg mixture and warm milk and beat to a soft, sticky dough. Cover with clingfilm and leave in a warm place for about 2 hours, until doubled in size.
  2. Preheat the oven to gas 5, 190°C, fan 170°C. Line a 12-hole muffin tray with cases. Using your hands, work the softened butter into the risen dough. The mixture will now be very sticky. Cut into 12 equal pieces and drop a piece into each case. Cover with clingfilm and leave in a warm place for 20 mins, until well risen.
  3. Sprinkle the grated Gruyère over each panettone, then bake for 25-30 mins, until golden. Eat within 3 days, or freeze for up to 6 weeks.

Freezing and defrosting guidelines

Wrap well in clingfilm and tin foil (to prevent freezer burn) and freeze for up to 6 weeks.

Loosen the tin foil and clingfilm but leave to defrost in packaging at room temperature for several hours before serving. If you wish to serve the baked goods warm, place them on a baking sheet for 10 mins in a moderate oven.
