GOLDEN PANDOLCE Makes 2 round loaves
From the north of Italy, the original home of the early Etruscans, comes this delicate
fruit and nut bread that is good for Easter or Christmas. Pandolce simply means
“sweet bread” in Italian. I love the rustic shape of its decorative top; it reminds me of
a court jester’s cap. Serve this for brunch with some fresh goat cheese and honey.
