In case you didn't know
Panettone and pandoro are both typical Italian sweets that have become world famous. They are often confused or thought to be the same thing, and although they are both very soft brioche-type sweet doughs, they have significant differences in both their recipe and their origin that give each one a unique character, namely:
-
Panettone It is a dome-shaped bun (it is hung upside down for its final resting and usually reaches a height of about 12-15 cm), with a brioche-type dough made with sourdough, eggs, butter and sugar. It can be unfilled or contain candied fruit, raisins or chocolate. It is especially typical of Milan and although its fame and popularity is present throughout Italy on Christmas tables, its fame has crossed borders and become popular throughout the world.
- The pandoro It is also a brioche-type dough, but it is prepared predominantly with eggs and vanilla (it is the quantity of eggs that gives it a characteristic yellowish colour to its interior), as well as flour, sugar, butter, cocoa butter and yeast. Therefore, it has a more buttery texture than panettone and is traditionally made in a truncated cone shape with a star-shaped relief (normally an eight-pointed star). Its main peculiarity is that it is not filled (it is purely brioche), and it is usually presented sprinkled with a good amount of icing sugar or chocolate. Its appearance is recorded on 14 October 1894 in Verona.
