How to Make Panettone Bread Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly butter a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  2. Cut leftover Panettone (from recipe #261437, or equivalent) into 1-inch cubes. Arrange the cubes in the prepared baking dish.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon salt until well combined.
  4. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the Panettone cubes, gently pressing down to submerge them in the custard.
  5. Let the bread pudding stand for 30 minutes, occasionally pressing down on the bread to absorb the custard.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the pudding is puffed, golden brown, and set in the center. Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
  7. Let the bread pudding cool slightly before serving.
  8. Meanwhile, prepare the cinnamon syrup: Combine ½ cup water and ½ cup packed light brown sugar in a heavy saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  9. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, or until the syrup reduces to about 1 cup. Remove from heat and whisk in ¼ cup heavy cream and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  10. Spoon the warm bread pudding into bowls. Drizzle generously with warm cinnamon syrup and serve immediately.
