I’m not sure what made me believe this Panettone Bread Pudding qualified as breakfast this past weekend, as I fired up the oven to bake it at 7:45 AM. Maybe it was that it used slices of bread (well, cake really) rather than chunks so it seemed more like baked French toast. Perhaps because I planned to swap in extra milk in place of the rum and Marsala wine in the recipe (so I could serve it to my kids) it seemed morning-worthy. Or I could possibly have had this bag on my mind…

…my Christmas present to myself! It just arrived today, I’ve been wanting it for months and it got marked down for Black Friday. 🙂

In reality, this sweet holiday treat with hints of orange and cinnamon is probably best served as dessert. The airy panettone soaks up custard like crazy, making the already flavorful Italian specialty cake incredibly moist and delightful. The recipe, from the Bauducco website, suggests serving the dish warm or chilled but to me, hot and fresh out of the oven is definitely the way to go.

    Great photos! I love the one of the milk pouring into the baking dish (with the panini presses in the background). Love it! Oh, one more question. Can I have cake for breakfast too? Sounds like a good idea to me…

  5. I could totally eat cake for breakfast 🙂 Or this bread pudding. Panettone is such a great breakfast bread. I usually make Panettone French Toast during the Holidays.
