Panettone

Italian food · Christmas · dessert · baking

Italian treasure. Panettone comes from Milan, Italy, and has been a special holiday treat there for centuries. Today, people eat it at Christmas and New Year in Europe, South America, Australia, and North America.

Bread, but not really. Panettone looks and feels like bread because it's tall and has a bread-like texture, but in Italy, everyone agrees it is actually a dessert, not something you would find in a regular bread bakery.

Fruity and sweet. This special cake is packed with dried fruits and has a sweet, rich flavor that makes it perfect for celebrations and special occasions during the winter holidays.
