BERRY BERRY CRANBERRIES & RASPBERRIES CHEEZY PANETTONE

Sometime last December, we went to Mid-Valley Mega Mall to kill our time during d school holidays. We wanted to have pre-lunch prior to d real lunch.. So, we went to this Bohemia Bakery @ d Jaya Jusco.

Honestly, being a home baker..  I hardly bought bakery related foods outside. If u can make them yourself, why buy??? 

So, we took a look @ this Bohemia, for something catchy and different.. I saw this one big bread with a cupola shape extended from a cylindrical base. It was very tempting... (sorry, didn't remember to snap a photo of it). The name sounds familiar, but d looks did not ring me a bell. It is called Cranberries Panettone.

The original panettone is a classic Italian bread that can be found throughout Italy especially during Christmas. It is a surprisingly light bread even though it is rich with butter and dried fruits. 

Ala-ala kek buah gitu..

  The original recipe of this panettone will require a very long process that will gives it very distinctive fluffy characteristics. Therefore, the original look of this panettone seems to be very formal and elegant. Should u interested to look further, kindly proceed to www.murphysfoodguide.com

BUT d one i bought  from Bohemia was very cool and catchy.. There was sort of buttery and cheezy fillings inside.. Since that day, i always google for this Bohemia Cranberry Panettone recipe. Unfortunately, tak pernah terjumpa pulak..

Eager sangat nak experiment this panettone.. Meanings, i have to mix and match any available recipes to create the cool and funky panettone.

One fine day, i came across a photo of  a recipe called Cranberry Cream Cheese Soft Bun @ www.nasilemaklover.blogspot.com by Sonia. The photo of the inner bun caught me.. Gotcha.. Thank you to Sonia for the fillings idea..

Finally, with the combination idea of original panettone and cream cheese soft bun by Sonia... here comes  my
