Focaccia Veneziana

This has little in common with the bread called focaccia, but is more a brioche-pandoro thing. I tasted one from the pasticceria Puppa in Cannareggio & was completely sold on it, so I found a recipe in my sister-in-law’s old book ‘A Tola co I Nostri Veci’ by Mariu Salvatori de Zuliani (thank goodness, I had Luisa to translate the Venetian dialect instructions to me).
