Maritozzo

Breads, Flatbreads and Savory Pastries

Maritozzo is a traditional Italian cream bun consisting of bread filled with a generous amount of whipped cream. Originally the name referred only to the bread itself, with the cream-filled version called maritozzo con la panna; the bun filled with cream is typical of Roman, Marche, and Abruzzo cuisine, while in Puglia and Sicily the name maritozzo instead refers to a braided sweet bread.
