Many people associate the Easter dove with panettone. This is no coincidence, as the basic mixture of the two seasonal pastries is identical. What distinguishes the two pastries are, on the one hand, the ingredients and, of course, the shape. Raisins are traditionally added to the round panettone, while the dove-shaped Easter dove is mainly decorated with candied orange peel or candied lemon peel. Another characteristic feature of the Easter dove is the contrast between the soft dough and the typical crispy glaze. The latter is decorated with sugar crystals, almonds and an olive tree branch, symbolizing the reference to peace.
