Dried fruits and orange zest make un unbeatable combination, and the addition of nuts only heightens the appeal. For a fancier finish, dust Vegan Panettone with confectioner's sugar.
Mix the flour, yeast, sugar, salt and vanilla in a bowl. Make a well in the center and stir plant milk and vegan egg. Add vegan butter.
In a separate bowl, combine dried fruits, zest and nuts (if using). Add fruit mixture to the rest of the ingredients and mix (the dough would be sticky but don't worry).
Cover the dough and leave to rest in warm place for two hours.
Preheat the oven 365F. Place the dough in prepared pan and bake 30- 40min until golden brown and the panettone center checked with cake tester or "toothpick test" (baking time may vary depending on the pan size and stove).
