For the Sponge:
In a mixing bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of bread flour, 1 tablespoon of instant yeast, and 3/4 cup of water. Mix until you have a smooth and sticky dough.
Cover the bowl with a clean cloth and let the sponge rest for about 30 minutes until it becomes frothy and bubbly.

To the sponge, add 4 1/2 cups of bread flour, 1/2 cup of sugar, 4 egg yolks, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Add 3 tablespoons of butter or margarine and 1/3 cup of water. Continue to mix until the dough comes together.
Add 1 tablespoon of Panettone aroma and 1 tablespoon of honey to enhance the flavor. Mix until well incorporated.
Finally, fold in 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips into the dough. You can use a spatula or your hands for this step.
To Bake:
Shape the dough into a round loaf and place it in a Panettone paper mold or a greased and floured pan.
Cover the dough with a clean cloth and let it rise for about 4-6 hours, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F).
Bake the Panettone in the preheated oven for approximately 35-45 minutes or until it's golden brown and sounds hollow when tapped on the bottom.
Once done, remove the Panettone from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.
