Brioche col tuppo

(Brioche siciliana)

Brioche col tuppo is an Italian version of a brioche hailing from Sicily. It is characterized by its rounded top bun, called tuppo, which also gives this brioche its name. The tuppo should be removed and eaten first. The brioche is made with milk, yeast, flour, salt, sugar, eggs, butter, and honey.


It can also be enriched with orange or lemon rind, saffron, or apples. This Sicilian treat is not eaten on its own – the brioche should be accompanied by granita, available in flavors such as lemon, pistachio, strawberry, etc. Another way of eating brioche col tuppo is to split it in half and fill it with gelato.
