Curiosity

The bun is a classic of Italian home baking, and the variations that can be created are virtually endless. In the version with peaches and almonds, the sweetness of the almonds is combined with the freshness of the peaches, which together offer a very pleasant taste and texture. Remember to choose ripe peaches but not too soft, so that they do not break down during cooking. Enjoy your meal!
