What is the difference between Panettone and Pandoro? Believe it or not, panettone is a hybrid of both cake and bread. It has the texture of light and airy sweet bread but with the flavor of a classic fruit cake. The traditional panettone recipe uses raisins, candied citrus peel, lots of butter, eggs, and flour to create this unique flavor combination. The dough is also left to rise multiple times so it has a lighter and airier texture. When was the Panettone recipe created? Pandoro originated in Verona, Italy, and is typically made with flour, butter, eggs, sugar, and yeast. It is a leavened bread, similar to Panettone, but with some distinct differences. Unlike Panettone, Pandoro is devoid of candied fruits and raisins, and it is often dusted with powdered sugar to resemble the snowy peaks of the Italian Alps. EK: “It’s quite dry and the least rich dough we’ve tried. The filling is better than Aldi’s but it’s still too sweet – all you’re left with at the end is an artificial taste. It needs some citrus peel to balance things out.” Score 5/10
