Pan dei Re - Christmas Cake from Pasticceria Angelo Inglima

Pan dei Re – Artisanal Sicilian Christmas Cake by Pasticceria Inglima

The Pan dei Re (King’s Bread) by Pasticceria Inglima is an authentic artisanal Christmas sweet bread that celebrates the warmth and spirit of Sicilian holiday traditions. Created in Canicattì by master pastry chef Giovanni Inglima, a member of the Accademia Maestri del Lievito Madre, this naturally leavened cake represents the perfect blend of craftsmanship, symbolism, and festive flavor.

Shaped like a crown to honor the Three Wise Men, Pan dei Re combines soft texture and aromatic depth. Its dough is prepared with the finest ingredients:

Ingredients: Water, Italian soft wheat flours type 0 and type 1 (EU origin), butter, sugar, egg yolk (category A), salt, natural sourdough, orange zest, sultanas, malt, wildflower honey from Canicattì, Madagascar vanilla beans, semi-candied citron, semi-candied orange cubes (glucose syrup, sucrose), candied fig cubes, candied ginger cubes, Pisto Napoletano (a blend of traditional Neapolitan spices), orange and lemon flavoring, sunflower lecithin.

Topping: Whole almonds, sugar, powdered sugar, rice flour, corn flour, corn starch, egg white.

May contain traces of other nuts. NO PRESERVATIVES.

The result is a delicate and fragrant sweet bread where each ingredient has meaning: orange symbolizes gold, ginger stands for myrrh, and fig represents incense. The use of Pisto Napoletano—a blend of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and other spices—adds a warm, enveloping scent reminiscent of Christmas markets and Sicilian pastry traditions.

Each slice of this Pan dei Re reveals a story of devotion, craftsmanship, and flavor. Perfect as a Christmas gift or as a centerpiece for Epiphany celebrations, it embodies the sweetness and elegance of Sicilian holiday desserts.

Naturally leavened, soft, and covered with a crunchy almond glaze, this artisanal cake is entirely handmade, without preservatives, and beautifully packaged to preserve its freshness.
