Panettone and Roscón: two very special preparations that any pastry lover would love to learn to make
Panettone is one of the most prized pastry creations, due to its texture, aroma and flavor. It’s a complex dough to prepare, involving a long process and fermentation. In this online course Daniel Álvarez, producer of one of the most precious panettones in Spain, shares his secrets. He will explain step by step, the kneading, fermentation, baking, and cooling of the panettones, as well as the yeast (levain) that we must use to achieve the desired result.
We will also learn how to make a roscón with Mediterranean touches. Again, Daniel will explain the ingredients, kneading, and fermentation time required, and will show us how he decorates his roscón to make it stand out from the crowd. For both preparations, he will explain how to select ingredients that will provide the flavor, aroma and texture we are looking for.

Know how to make them step by step. Very clear!
Two areas i think it can be improved. 1) All is started with levain even the first kneading for panettone, however in the course, not mentioned about how to make the 1st levain. The Chef told us he gets the levain over 20 years. For me, i wonder how to make it? 2) I believe it is also important to show the part of boiling orange with suger when doing topping for rascon cos it is easy to burn.

Another great journey to discover how to make Panettone and Rascon
Great course with solid information, however, the voice over at times seems a bit too quiet which make it hard to hear and understand. I also felt that some of the video endings seemed to end a bit too abruptly.
