  • I Need A Delicious Christmas Morning
    Dec 17 2024

    Brad has a vision of a Christmas morning with kids opening presents and adults sipping coffee and enjoying a delicious panettone, the Italian holiday sweet bread. But as he's learned over 3 years of fallen loaves, panettone is not an easy product to bake. So Chris calls on Roy Shvartzapel, who's dedicated the better part of the last 20 years to learning about and producing the loaves, to help Brad improve his process and embrace the wild panettone journey.

    The recipe Brad used for his panettone comes from the cookbook A Good Bake.
