@Smithy thank you for sharing these moments with us; this is a bittersweet trip. <hugs> Wishing you all the best.

I grew up with this. It was always open-faced and eaten with a knife & fork, Dutch brown bread, salted butter. Also had to have an open-faced cheese or meat sandwich first. Also, the sprinkles are good quality chocolate. This is a good brand from a Dutch importer in the US https://thedutchstore.com/webstore/productinfo.aspx?itemno=12203&code=145&list=104A145&type=ITEMCATEGORY

I don't think that sous vide or any closed environment would work. Water needs to evaporate from the apple mixture to make apple butter.

I have one. Posted about it on eGullet… will see if I can find the posts… think they are in the chamber vacuum topic. I like mine a lot. Here you go… has its own topic.

To add some of a wafer cookie crunch, you could add some white chocolate crispy pearls. https://www.barry-callebaut.com/en-US/artisans/mona-lisa/products/crispearls-white-chocolate-0%2C8kg/CHW-CC-CRISPE0-02B

Excellent point, I incorrectly remembered the filling as a ganache. If the pailleté feuilletine was omitted from the recipe, it could be reformulated as a ganache and whipped for a cake filling. The candy is a white chocolate coconut & almond version of the ferrero rocher.

I would try leaving the ganache recipe the same but whip the finished ganache and used the whipped ganache as a cake filling.

Here is a recipe from King Arthur Baking for sourdough cinnamon rolls. I haven't tried it but have gotten a lot of good recipes from KAB. https://www.kingarthurbaking.com/blog/2019/12/02/sourdough-cinnamon-buns

I did not buy it. But perhaps someday I will get a freeze dryer. Still not convinced that I would find it useful. Would like to try one out someday. Need a lending library of kitchen gadgets. 😉

Yesterday, I saw a small HarvestRight freeze drier at Costco for $1,599.99! Did not know that Costco was carrying this item. It’s approximately $500 dollars less than purchasing directly from HarvestRight. Now I have a sense for how tiny their small unit is. Photo I screen captured from Reddit: Also found a video with details of what is included with this Costco freeze drier bundle

Thank you @Smithy. Here is a link to the recipe https://www.toineskitchen.com/recipes/bruin-brood/

100% whole wheat sandwich loaf.

When I freeze, I cut the panettone into slices double wrap them in plastic wrap, put wrapped bundles of slices in aluminum foil and then into the freezer. Then I thaw a slice at a time. Has worked well for me.
