Rustichella D'Abruzzo Pandorino

Pandorino is a mini version of 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. 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.
