Panettone

Holiday specialty made with slow fermentation, imported ingredients, and traditional Italian craft.

Tradition Meets Flavor

At Francesca Bakery, panettone is made using classic Italian holiday methods passed through generations. Each loaf follows a long fermentation process that builds light texture, deep aroma, and rich flavour.

Panettone originates from Milan, Italy, and has been part of Christmas traditions since the 15th century. It became widely known as a holiday cake across Italy and later around the world. (Wikipedia)

We prepare each panettone using natural sourdough, slow fermentation, and carefully balanced ingredients. The result is a soft, airy structure with fruit, chocolate, or nut layers inside.

Holiday Tradition in Every Slice
