Serves

8–10

Ingredients

4 eggs

2 cups milk

⅓ cup sugar + 1 tbsp sugar

½ tbsp vanilla extract

12 cups cubed panettone (1 inch cubes)

Softened butter (for the loaf pan)

 

Orange Glaze:

1 1/4 cup icing sugar

8 tsp fresh squeezed orange juice

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl whisk together eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla.
  2. Add the bread to the bowl, stir until everything is well-coated and let stand for 30 minutes so the bread can absorb much of the liquid.
  3. While the bread is soaking, preheat the oven to 350oF and grease the loaf pan well with softened butter. Line with parchment paper and grease again with butter.
  4. Once the bread has soaked, spoon the bread into the loaf pan and pour any remaining liquid over the bread and sprinkle the top with 1 tbsp sugar.
  5. Bake the bread pudding for 60-75 minutes until puffed up and golden brown, and when a knife is inserted in the pudding it comes out almost clean, some crumbs.
  6. Let stand for at least 30 minutes to allow it to set before serving.
  7. Serve slices with drizzles of orange glaze.
