Pannettone

Panettone is a traditional Italian sweet bread typically enjoyed during the Christmas and New Year holidays. It is characterized by its tall, domed shape and soft, airy texture, achieved through a lengthy fermentation process. The bread contains dried fruits, such as raisins and candied orange or lemon peel, which are evenly distributed throughout. Made with rich ingredients like butter, eggs, and sugar, panettone has a mildly sweet flavor with fruity and citrus notes. It is often served sliced, sometimes with masks, desserts, or coffee, making it a festive and flavorful treat enjoyed across Italy and internationally.
