ITALIAN RECIPES TRADITIONAL AND CREATIVE

Recipe: ingredients,doses and history of Panettone of Milan, traditional recipe for Christmas.

This is the classic Panettone of Milan, the traditional sweet for Christmas: swollen, with candied fruits, sultana/raisins, dark crust...made by yourselves! One of the many tales about this cake tells that it takes the name from the Italian words "pan de Toni" ( in Italian Bread of Toni). But who was he? Somebody say he was its inventor. Other people say he was the baker's daughter betrothed. He invented this sweet for helping his lover. It is basically bread with much butter.

It is difficult to prepare, but very gratifying.
