Merry Christmas to all Mamaliga fans! Here’s another try at baking Panettone from The Bread Baker’s Apprentice book for the BBA Challenge. I didn’t blog about it initially since there were some things I wanted to tweak and adapt from his original formula. Quite a few changes.

Don’t be fooled. This humble chocolate tart is packed with enough potential to turn even the most chocolate-disciplined person into a dessert-ivore. So much more that is so easy and fast - if you read my previous post on baking short crust sweet pastry tart shells and you have two or three of them in the freezer.

In days when you crave something sweet and classy (and that’s daily, confess it!) this flexible short crust saves you of going through intense labor to create a delicious tart.
