Wow! That Gold yeast makes a world of difference. I have made the pannetone recipe twice without the great rise using the regular instant yeast. Not so here. I made this last week as directed and it was terrific. For Easter breakfast I made it using mini chips and the vanilla butternut flavoring. I made the mistake of letting the biga sit to long and the final result had a slight yeasty undertone. I used about 1/4 tsp of the flavoring and it didn't come through. I know the yeast may have overpowered some, but should I have used more flavoring? Thanks for another great KAF recipe. (My daughter asks me why I only use your flour. I told her it's payback for your great service, recipes, and products. Works for me!) LOVE the SAF Gold for sweet breads. And yes, a big yeast recipe like this could probably handle 3/4 to 1 teaspoon flavoring, even of these strong flavors. And thanks for only using our flour - me and my fellow 170-or-so fellow owners appreciate your loyalty very much. :) PJH
