Panettone On Sale At Last
I look forward to eating panettone EVERY holiday season but I’m too cheap to buy them at regular price. I’ve been stalking my neighbourhood grocery store since beginning of December, patiently waiting for these delicious sweet bread to go on sale. On the last day of the year, they finally are! Reduced from their regular price of $15.99, this 1kg loaf is now only $9.44. In a couple of weeks, they will probably go down to under $5….
There are many brands of panettone available in Toronto but Tre Marie is my personal favourite (for commercial panettone anyway). They are made with real butter! The list of ingredients reads like a normal list from a baking recipe. Delish!
If there are any pandoro left, I would love to buy a couple of loaves for making bread pudding. However, for panettone, I usually can’t resist just eating them plain out of hand. According to Wikipedia, a good traditional accompaniment is crema di mascarpone and hot cocoa. I can imagine them going very well with the eggy sweet yeasty bread. Argh, why am I dieting????!!!!
