Dissolve the yeast cube in the soy drink with 1 tbsp sugar in a cup. Cover the cup and leave the liquid to rise in a warm place until the yeast becomes active and forms bubbles.

Step 2/9
Pour the liquid into a bowl and add the flour, sugar, vegan butter alternative, flaxseed eggs, lemon and orange zest and water. Mix the ingredients together well. Feel free to use a stand mixer or a wooden spoon, as the dough will be quite sticky at first. Cover the bowl with a cloth, put it in a warm place and leave the dough to rest - you can also put it in the oven at around 30 degrees. After 30-40 minutes, your dough should have risen well.

Now mix in the remaining 100 g flour and knead your dough again. Now line your panettone mold or a medium-sized ovenproof pan with baking paper and place your dough in it. Leave it to rise again in a warm place.

Step 4/9
Preheat the oven to 220 °C. When your dough has risen nicely, brush it with a little butter alternative. Place the dough in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.

Step 5/9
After 20 minutes, the dough will be too hot, so you should now turn the heat down to 180 °C and bake for another 30 minutes. Not sure if your panettone is done? Do the stick test! If no panettone dough sticks to your stick, it is done baking.

Next, prepare the pistachio cream. Stir 2 tbsp of the plant-based drink with vanilla pudding powder until smooth. Pour the remaining plant-based drink into a pan with the pistachio puree and sugar and bring the mixture to the boil. Stir in the plant drink and custard powder mixture with a whisk and leave to simmer until the pudding thickens. Pour the pudding into a bowl and leave to cool to room temperature for 30 minutes before pureeing.

Sieve the powdered sugar and beat it with the butter alternative until creamy. Next, briefly whip the pistachio pudding before adding the butter mixture one tablespoon at a time and stirring it in. Now it's best to use the cream straight away. Spread it evenly over the surface of your panettone.
