This Panettone bread pudding with cinnamon syrup is the perfect use for Christmas panettone. Plus it makes a delicious Christmas morning breakfast or dessert.
Hi everyone 🙂 I’ve been hit with a cold AGAIN so I apologize for my lack of posting. I’m getting really sick of getting sick. Sigh…..
Now. Onto the bread pudding.
I had a whole loaf of panettone bread in my pantry just dying to be used.
Have you ever had panettone before?
It’s delicious!
It’s a sweet bread filled with candied orange, lemon zest, and raisins.
Perfect with coffee, tea, or warm wine, yum!
The bread pudding keeps the delicious flavors of the panettone but adds the delicious texture of the bread pudding.
What more could you ask for?
Panettone Bread Pudding
Ingredients
For Cinnamon Syrup:
- 1 cup water

- 2-1/2 cups whole milk
- 1-1/4 cups granulated sugar
Instructions
For syrup:
- Combine water and brown sugar in a heavy medium saucepan.

- Arrange the bread cubes in the prepared dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, milk, and sugar to blend.
- Pour the custard over the bread cubes, and press the bread cubes gently to submerge.
- Let stand for 30 minutes, occasionally packing the bread cubes into the custard mixture. Can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 12 hours.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Bake until the pudding puffs and set in the center for about 45 minutes. Cool slightly.
- Spoon the bread pudding into bowls, drizzle with the warm Cinnamon Syrup, and serve.

What a great way to use up leftover panettone! Have you ever had pandoro? it's a similar sweet bread that is also served around Christmas in Northern Italy... I think it would make a great bread pudding as well!

I hope that was the last cold to hit you for this winter. I like panettone but I prefer pandoro more. But you found a perfect way to transform a simple panettone to a beautiful dessert.
