Panettone

It's not Christmas for me unless I have a panettone. A buttery mix of dried fruits, this labor intensive bread is best accompanied by coffee or liqueur. My grandmother used to make them when I was a child, mixing ingredients, allowing it to rise, resting, mixing and rising again and again.

This famous Italian bread has its beginnings in Milan, Italy. That much is certain. There are also a few legends which surround the history of this sweet holiday bread.

This week, a look at the origins, legend and history of panettone.

TTFN, Fred.
