8Maritozzo

Next time you’re in Rome or the Lazio region of Italy, do yourself a favor and sample this typical Roman sweet. Maritozzo is a small bun cut down the middle and filled with a delicious and very generous dollop of gooey custard or whipped cream.  

The ingredients are simple – butter, eggs, flour, honey, and salt – but the heavenly combination of sweet bread and creamy filling will send your taste buds into overdrive. Origin: Rome
