Introduction:
Pan Tramvai is more than just a sweet raisin bread—it’s a nostalgic taste of Lombardy, often enjoyed as a mid-morning snack or with a cup of coffee.

Soft, lightly sweet, and studded with raisins, this homemade version brings the tradition to your kitchen with an easy-to-follow method.
