Ingredients

Cinnamon Syrup:

1 cup water
1 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Bread Pudding:

Butter
1 (1-pound) loaf panettone bread, crusts trimmed, bread cut into 1-inch cubes
8 large eggs
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/4 cups sugar

To make the syrup:

Directions

Combine 1 cup of water and brown sugar in a heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Boil until the syrup reduces to 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cream and cinnamon. Keep the syrup warm. (The syrup can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, then cover and refrigerate. Re-warm before serving.)

To make the bread pudding:

Lightly butter a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Arrange the bread cubes in 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 pressing the bread cubes into the custard mixture. (Can be prepared 2 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Bake until the pudding puffs and is set in the center, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly.

Spoon the bread pudding into bowls, drizzle with the warm Cinnamon Syrup, and serve.

We put a new spin on this and used a chocolate chip panettone instead. Lets just say, it was quite a hit. Hot, cold it just... doesn"t matter. lol. We found them at our local publix, but you can also buy online...enjoyRead more

This is a really great recipe. I used it on christmas day morning There are a few things I did differently. I used eggnog... (as others had suggested) instead of the cream, and I used two types of panettone: half plain and half with dried fruit in it. I also added a bit of goldschlager to the syrup recipe (cinnamon liqueur). so to recap really yummy and really rich Read more

This was delicious. Instead of seving the sauce on the side, I poured some of it over the top of the bread pudding and let... it seep in. I found this to be just as good cold from the refrigerator as it was warm. I will make this over and over again.Read more
