Quick Bread Panettone

Quick Bread Panettone is my simpler and easier version of the Italian panettone which is a traditional yeast sweet bread made especially for the Holidays.

• 2 cups flour
• 1 + 1/2tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 2eggs
• 1cup sugar
• 1/2cup orange marmalade
• 1/2cup melted butter
• 1cup raisins
• 1cup candied fruits
• Optional 1/2cup brandy

In a bowl combine 2 eggs, 1cup sugar, 1/2 cup orange marmalade, 1/2 cup melted butter.
Add 2 cups flour, 1 + 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda.
Fold in 1 cup raisins and 1 cup candied fruits (optional : I soak the raisins and candied fruits in a little brandy the day before)
BAKE in a 9x5x3" loaf bread pan greased and floured at 350F. for 50 min. or until top is amber golden.
Cool it and store in a bread bag to keep moist.
