2Step 4: Add the Filling and Shape the Dough

Once the dough has risen, gently deflate it and incorporate the filling. Drain the soaked raisins and pat them dry. Toss them with the candied orange and lemon peels to coat evenly. Flatten the dough slightly on a floured surface and sprinkle the fruit mixture over the top.
Fold the dough over the filling and knead gently until the fruit is evenly distributed, being careful not to overwork it. Shape the dough into a round ball and place it in a prepared panettone mold or baking pan. Cover it again and let it rise for another one to two hours, or until it reaches the top of the mold.
