Ingredients 

  • 1 panettone bread loaf (1.1 lb / 500 g)
  • 6 medium eggs
  • 3 cups milk of choice (I’ve used almond milk)
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Olive oil spray
  • Optional grated zest of 1 orange and/or mini dark chocolate chips

Garnish Optional

  • Icing sugar, maple syrup, vanilla ice cream or yogurt

Instructions

  • Slice the panettone bread into cubes, approximately into 2 inch / 5cm cubes, then add them to a large baking dish that has been sprayed lightly with olive oil spray 
  • In a large bowl, crack in the eggs and whisk. Then add the milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and orange zest if you are using it. Whisk all ingredients together until well combined 
  • Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes and ensure all pieces are submerged into the mixture, if adding chocolate chips add them now too. Allow to rest for 30-45 minutes so that the panettone can absorb the custard
    In the meantime, preheat oven to 180°C/350℉
  • Place the baking dish in the oven for 30-35 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the middle has set
    You can check this by sticking a toothpick in the middle. It should be soft and custardy, but not wet
  • Remove from the oven, allow it to cool and set for 5-10 minutes. Dust with icing sugar, slice into squares, and enjoy your delicious Panettone Bread Pudding!
    Optional, serve with a spoon of yogurt or vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup or your favorite sweet sauce…YUM!
