Today I feel really proud and satisfied to have created something truly delicious and original, the RED VELVET PANDORO WITH SOURDOUGH. For this pandoro, I was inspired by the recipe of the talented Pignataro and made it entirely my own by turning it into a red velvet pandoro. Making pandoro with sourdough is known to not be easy, it is a very elaborate recipe that requires a lot of patience. So if you are in a hurry, I advise against it. But like all elaborate recipes, the satisfaction you feel at the end is truly priceless. Before starting, I recommend leaving the mixer bowl and paddle in the fridge for an hour. This way, we avoid overheating the dough during processing. Another piece of advice I give you is to occasionally check the dough temperature during processing; it must not overheat, that is, it must not exceed 79°F with a kitchen thermometer. If it does, don’t worry, stop the mixer and put the bowl in the fridge for 30 minutes, then continue. Naturally, I made a red velvet pandoro, but if you want, you can make a simple and delicious pandoro by omitting the coloring and filling.
