panettone

Dome-shaped holiday bread

Panettone is a tall, dome-shaped Italian sweet bread studded with dried fruit and candied citrus peel, traditionally eaten at Christmas.

The dough is enriched with butter and eggs, giving it a light, fluffy texture: We brought a panettone to Christmas dinner.

Plural: panettoni or panettones.
