Panettone is a traditional Italian Christmas bread hailing from Milan. Its origins date back to the Roman Empire, but it gained popularity in the 15th century. Legend has it that a young nobleman named Ughetto fell in love with the daughter of a poor baker named Toni. To impress her, he created a rich, fruit-studded bread, which became known as "Pan de Toni" or Toni's bread. Today, renowned pastry chefs like Iginio Massari and Luigi Biasetto have perfected the art of making Panettone. The best Panettone can be found in Milan, but it's enjoyed worldwide during the holiday season. Its fluffy texture and rich flavor make it a must-have treat. For an authentic taste, it's crucial to use high-quality ingredients like candied fruits and raisins. While traditional Panettone is baked with a cylindrical shape, there are variations like Pandoro, a star-shaped sweet bread, that are equally delightful.
