Ingredients

• 12 cups Panettone bread
• 3 cups Whole milk
• 1.5 cups Heavy cream
• 5 units Large eggs
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter (for greasing)
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter (for sauce)
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream (for caramel sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Brandy

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter.

Step 2

Cut the panettone bread into 1-inch cubes and spread them evenly in the greased baking dish.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, eggs, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.

Step 4

Pour the custard mixture evenly over the panettone cubes, making sure all the bread is soaked. Press down lightly with a spatula to help the bread absorb the liquid.

Step 5

Let the mixture sit for 15 minutes to ensure the bread is fully soaked.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 45–50 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly while you prepare the sauce.

Step 7

To make the brandy caramel sauce, combine the brown sugar, 0.5 cup of butter, and 0.5 cup of heavy cream in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to thicken, about 5–7 minutes.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the brandy. Let the sauce cool slightly to thicken further.

Step 9

Slice the bread pudding into portions, drizzle generously with the brandy caramel sauce, and serve warm.
