Traditional in the north of Italy, close to the French border, pan di spezie is usually baked at Christmas time and uses simple ingredients to create a deliciously rich loaf flavoured with honey, cinnamon, and ginger, but you can use whichever warm spices suit your tastes. The pan di spezie can be kept for up to 5 days in an air-tight container.
