pane means bread in Italian

How do you say bread in Italian?

Pane!

In Italy bread, pane, is rarely made at home.  Why bother?  Every neighborhood has at least one awesome bakery where bread, pane, is baked fresh every morning.

Il pane è fresco.
The bread is fresh.

Extra credit, make pronunciation fun:

Pane starts out like the "pon" in "upon."
The first half of the word gets the emphasis and sounds like "PON" from "upon"
The second half of the word sounds like the "ay" in "hay"
PON- ay
