It takes nearly three full days to make a single traditional panettone.
For a loaf that looks like simple holiday bread on a store shelf, the process is anything but simple. In Milan, bakers are required to use lievito madre — a dense natural yeast that can be over 80 years old. The dough is heavy, sticky, almost glossy, and behaves nothing like ordinary bread.
So why does this slow, demanding ritual still survive inside modern factories?
Captain Discovery follows the journey from aging fermentation rooms to high-speed breakfast lines making Eggo waffles, and into maple forests where sap is boiled down drop by drop into syrup. From patience to precision, discover how time itself becomes an ingredient in How It’s Made: Panettone, Eggo Waffles, Maple Syrup.
