Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "IPA".) or Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "IPA".) (Template:Literally) is an Italian traditional Easter bread, the Easter counterpart of the two well-known Italian Christmas desserts, panettone and Script error: No such module "Lang"..
The dough for the Script error: No such module "Lang". is made in a similar manner to panettone, with flour, eggs, sugar, natural yeast, and butter; unlike panettone, it usually contains candied peel and no raisins.[1][2] The dough is then fashioned into a dove (Script error: No such module "Lang". in Italian) shape and finally is topped with pearl sugar and almonds before being baked. Some manufacturers produce other versions, including a popular bread topped with chocolate.
Script error: No such module "Lang". was commercialised by Dino Villani, who worked as the advertising director for the Milanese company Motta, which was already famous for its Christmas speciality, panettone. Villani had the idea to create an Easter bread using the same machinery and the same dough as panettone.[3] The owner of Motta, Milanese baker and businessman Angelo Motta, sent the new creation to many journalists and writers to test the new creation and it was met with wide success. As a result, another Milanese company, Vergani, followed suit making Script error: No such module "Lang". there in 1944.[3]
