Gather all ingredients and ensure the bread machine pan is securely in place.
Add the ingredients to the bread machine pan in the following order: warm water, eggs, butter, bread flour, sugar, salt, and instant yeast.
Set your bread machine to the 'Sweet Bread' setting or similar, typically lasting about 3 hours. Choose the light or medium crust option depending on your preference.
Once the first mixing cycle is complete and before the second rise, open the bread machine lid and add the candied orange peel, golden raisins, vanilla extract, and orange zest. This ensures the fruit is folded into the dough without getting crushed.
Close the lid and allow the bread machine to continue working through the rest of the kneading, rising, and baking cycles.
When the bread machine beeps to indicate the bread is done, carefully remove the pan using oven mitts. Let the panettone cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Gently turn the pan over to release the panettone. Transfer to a wire rack and let it cool completely before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your delicious shortcut panettone as a festive breakfast or dessert!
