Pandorino

This Pandorino (small Pandoro) from Rustichella d'Abruzzo offers all the features of the beloved Christmas bread in a mini package! 

Pandoro (pan d'oro) is a light, fluffy yeasted sweet bread and traditional Christmas and New Year’s Eve dessert in Italy. This “golden bread” has been served in Venetian palaces since the 17^th Century and is enjoyed at the end of the meal with sparkling wine. Pandoro is beloved for its vanilla-scented, soft crumb and unique star shape. It looks strikingly like a Christmas tree, especially when topped with a snowy flurry of powdered sugar! Many people prefer pandoro because it does not contain any candied fruit or raisins like panettone.

Serve topped with a warm custard or vanilla gelato.
