Learn how to make sweet buns at home.. the Italian way! In this episode of “Piatto,” we learn how to make Italian Maritozzi from scratch using a KitchenAid stand mixer.
Maritozzi is a slightly sweet bun flavored with lemon zest and pine nuts. Traditionally, it often includes candied orange slices and raisins as well. In Italy, it is filled with fresh whipped cream.
With the texture of a brioche, Maritozzi also makes a great gourmet sandwich bun. Of course, you’ll want to leave out candied orange and raisins if you plan to use these Italian sweet buns in this way.
TIP: Red Star Yeast gives a great rise every time!
