Night bakery

I wanted to try a panettone. After some research on the web, I selected what I thought was a sensible recipe, and gave it a go - wondering how i'd get that amazing panettone taste. And - sorry to disappoint - but I'm still wondering.
I made a very nice fruited bread - but its a bit too airy, bit too dry - though its got 5 egg yolks in it!!
On reflection, (sitting here munching it) it just needs more fruit and candied peel, and slightly (3 mins?) less time in the oven to sort the dryness. Easy enough to fix.

I also knocked up some more Bath Buns - they're a bit popular.

All this bakery takes a huge amount of hours tho'. I'd started at around 4pm - got these done, (and the choux buns and my dinner,) through the night til 1am, when the buns were done, then set the alarm for 5am to get the proved panettone in the oven. Set the alarm again for 40 minutes later to pull it out of the oven.
Then get my ass down to work for a cafe day. I thought of it as conditioning training. This bakery shizzle isn't for the wussy hearted.
