Pandoro
Pandoro appeared in remote times, the product of the ancient art of breadmaking, as the name, Pan d'oro ("literally: Golden Bread"), suggests. Throughout the Middle Ages, white bread was consumed only by rich people, while the common people could only afford black bread and, often, not even that. Sweet breads were reserved for nobility.
Breads enriched with eggs, butter and sugar or honey were served in the palaces and were known as "royal bread" or "golden bread".
His birth dates back to 1800 , as an evolution of the " Nadalin " , Verona sweet . On October 14th 1894 Melegatti Dominic , founder of the confectionery industry in Verona , filed at the patent office a sweet soft and the characteristic body -shaped eight-pointed star , by the artist Angelo Dall'Oca White , impressionist painter .

Panettone
The cook in the service of Ludovico il Moro was commissioned to
prepare a sumptuous Christmas dinner for many nobles of the
district , but the sweet , forgotten in the oven , almost charred .
Given the desperation of the cook , Toni , a small kitchen boy ,
proposed a solution : " With a bit ' of flour , butter , eggs , zest of
lime and some raisins - this morning I cooked this cake . If you have
nothing else , you can bring it to the table . " The cook agreed and ,
trembling , stood behind a curtain to spy on the reaction of the
guests. All were enthusiastic and to the Duke , who wanted to know
the name of that delicacy , the cook revealed the secret : " L'è 'l pan
del Toni ." Since then it is the “ pane di Toni " , or the " panettone " .

How to do them
• FOR THE PASTRY: On a table make a mound offlour,in the center add the sugar, eggs, vanilla bag, lard, baking powder and grated lemon peel. Mix ingredients slowly, forming a dough too soft, butstill compact and homogeneous. The doughshould not be a lot of work with your hands. Wecover, then, with a damp towel and let it rest for a half hour.

TO MAKE PETRALI: floured the work surface, pull with a
rolling pin a very thin sheet from which we will derive some
discs with a diameter of 10 cm. about. We place on half of
each disc, a tablespoon of filling and we cover with the
other half. We put the ornaments in the oven at 180 °, on a
buttered baking sheet.
