Piemontese Panettone With Candied Fruit

Piemontese Panettone is the most famous of all the Italian specialty loaves of bread. Legend has it the name comes from a poor baker's daughter, Toni, who won the heart of a nobleman in the 1400s by baking this bread. From then on it was known as pan del Ton (Toni's bread) or panettone as we call it today. And like the smitten nobleman, you too will be impressed when you taste this delectable sweet bread loaded with raisins, candied fruit, and topped with a baked-on hazelnut and almond icing. Mangia!
