In this rigorous, hands-on class, Melissa Weller conquers one of the best holiday traditions: the Italian sweetbread known as Panettone.

Panettone can be traced back to the Roman Empire, and is a true, unique delight to eat. It is also a multi-day baking adventure. In this class, Melissa will break down the many steps, and walk through them all, from mixing, proofing and baking. Along the way, she will share tips, techniques, and answer questions about panettone and baking in general.
