Step 1
Soak dried fruit in 1/4 cup rum and 1/4 cup hot water at room temperature, stirring occasionally, until the raisins are plump and most of the liquid has been absorbed, 8 hours or overnight.
Step 2
Add the flour, eggs, water, starter, sugar, salt, vanilla and 12 tbsp butter to the bowl of a stand mixer with the dough hook attached.
Step 3
Knead until smooth and elastic
Step 4
Rise until doubled 6-8 hours (maybe more) or up to two days in the fridge
Step 5
Turn the dough onto a floured workspace and roll it into a 12 by 15 rectangle.
Step 6
Spread the drained fruit and candied orange peel evenly over the top. Gently press the fruit into the dough.
Step 7
Shape the panettone by folding two ends of the rectangle to the middle. Repeat for the other ends.
Step 8
Pull each side into the middle to form a ball. Gently add tension to the ball by maneuvering it against the counter in a few circular motions.

Add the shaped dough to a panettone mold and allow it to rise until just above the mold.
Step 10
Score a shallow X across the top and add one tablespoon of butter.
