The so-called yellow bread is a Roman speciality not unsimilar the Toscan panforte. And in spite of the name, it is more cake than bread and more brown than yellow. Some do add saffron to give the dough a golden tint, but apart from that pangiallo is a show of riches. Originating in the imperial age, the traditional winter sweet spares no expenses but combines all the nuts, dried fruits, honey and spices you can muster. An elegant and delightful kitchen table extravaganza.
