Certosino: A Sweet Italian Bread for the Holiday Season
Certosino is a type of Italian sweet bread that originated in the region of Piedmont. It is typically made with flour, sugar, eggs, butter, and yeast, and is flavored with anise or other ingredients such as candied fruit or nuts. The dough is often shaped into small loaves or rolls and topped with a glaze made from egg wash and sugar. Certosino is traditionally served during the Christmas season, particularly on December 24th, which is known as "La Vigilia" (the vigil) in Italy. It is considered a special treat and is often served with a cup of hot chocolate or coffee.
