There are several myths about this famous Italian brioche. We have chosen that of the Milanese noble, Ughetto Atellani, who fell in love with Adalgisa, the daughter of a poor baker called Toni. To gain the heart of the girl, the noble was disguised as a baker and baked a brioche bread, composed of flour, yeast, eggs, dry raisins and orange and lemon juice.
The bread knew success and he, “the noble”, offered the credit of its invention to the father of the beloved,
Toni. Thus, it was named “Pan del Ton” (Bread of Toni) and later became Panettone.
