panettones

Dome-shaped holiday loaves

Panettones is the plural of panettone, a tall, dome-shaped Italian sweet bread studded with dried fruit and traditionally eaten at Christmas.

The light, airy texture comes from a long rising process.

The bakery displayed rows of panettones wrapped in cellophane.

The Italian plural panettoni also appears in English.
