Gabriele’s mastery: panettoni in Vasocottura, a unique treat!
This technique is a master’s art; one of Gabriele’s most celebrated masterpieces is the pot-baked panettone . Gabriele has perfected this technique and created panettone cakes that are a true delight, one of the most celebrated specialties of the Donkey Bakery, a culinary masterpiece that requires skill, precision and patience. Gabriele creates pot-baked panettone c akes of extraordinary goodness.
Vasocoking is a technique in which panettone is baked in a glass jar, allowing even heat distribution. This slow, gentle process gives the panettone a soft, fluffy texture with an intense flavor.
Gabriele uses only the finest ingredients, such as sourdough, to create a panettone that is a real treat for the palate.
This attention to detail and mastery of the potting technique make the Donkey Bakery’s panettone aunique palate experience.
Long experience and the continuous search for quality raw materials
Gabriele, after gaining experience from various master pastry chefs, decided to start his own business to satisfy his passion for creation and experimentation. Together with a friend, he opened a small workshop in Lumezzane.
He began with a small bakery and, with determination, continued to seek out high quality products and experiment to offer the best to his customers. Over time, he begins to garner praise and realizes that the path is the right one.
His attention to raw materials is not limited to purchasing; it continues afterward, for example by making direct agreements with the miller at the mill to obtain clean flours without the use of chemicals, using only natural water to clean the grain.
In his work, Gabriele uses excellent raw materials, such as vanilla bean instead of vanillin, natural sourdough, selected butter and craft skills to knead with precision. All combined with slow and proper leavening and the addition of expert baking using the vasocottura technique.
“The secret” of potting?
The selection of excellent raw materials, a constant commitment to research and a great passion for the art of pastry making. These details, combined with the skill of the pastry chef, create unique and delicious desserts.
Gabriele’s jar cakes, made with sourdough, can be enjoyed all year round and not just during the Christmas season.
Gabriele strives daily to churn out high-quality products.
Using his experience, artisanal preparation that requires skill and dedication, he produces the famous Rose Cake, a famous specialty of the Italian regions, using the pottery technique, which pleases both the eyes and the palate.
