DEEP DIVE ON PANETTONE

Who invented the Panettone?

Legends still surround its origins. The most famous tells of a nobleman falconer who fell for a baker's daughter. To woo her despite their difference in station, he disguised himself and took a job at her father's struggling bakery. To make better bread, he sold his beloved falcons and enriched the dough with butter, sugar, candied peel, and raisins. It grew so popular that both families blessed the match.

How is it made?

1. Making the dough

Unlike many cakes that owe their rise to eggs or baking powder & soda, panettone is made with yeast, resulting in a particularly tricky, sticky dough. The traditional inclusion of candied oranges and raisins adds another layer of difficulty to the task.

2. Shaping the dough & final touches

Shaping is key – folding the dough onto itself to create a tight dome means the cake will rise evenly, without any large air bubbles. Once placed in a paper “tin”, a crossshape is cut into the top of the Panettone to ensure an even rise – it is also said to represent the Christian cross.

3. Baking & cooling

After being cooked just the right amount of time for a golden brown top and aerated center, the cakes are removed from the oven … and flipped upside down to cool down and rest –this prevents them from collapsing under their own weight.

A note on Melegatti : Do you know who invented the Pandoro? While many brands claim it as their own, Domenico Melegatti is said to be its original inventor, as he deposited a patent for the now -famous cake on October 14th, 1894. Since then, Melegatti has grown, and now offers a full selection of their exceptional Italian cakes to customers in Italy and abroad. Their iconic blue boxes are adorned by one of the most charming logos we’ve ever seen: two prancing cats!
