PANETTONE BREAD PUDDING

Categories     dessert

Time 2h25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 Italian panettone, about 1.2 pounds
Unsalted butter, for greasing the dish
3 extra-large whole eggs
8 extra-large egg yolks
5 cups half-and-half
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon pure almond extract
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Trim the dark brown outer crust from the panettone (optional). Cut the rest of the loaf in 1-inch cubes and place on a sheet pan in a single layer. Toast the panettone for 10 minutes, until lightly browned.
  • Grease a 9 by 12 by 2-inch baking dish with the butter. Place the panettone cubes in the baking dish.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the whole eggs, egg yolks, half-and-half, vanilla and almond extracts and sugar. Pour this custard mixture over the panettone. Set aside for 10 minutes so the bread soaks up the custard. Scatter the sliced almonds over the top of the pudding.
  • Place the baking dish into a larger pan and add very hot tap water to the larger pan until it's halfway up the side of the baking dish. Cover the larger pan with aluminum foil, tenting the foil so it doesn't touch the pudding. Cut a few holes in the foil to allow steam to escape. Bake the pudding for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake for 40 to 45 more minutes, until the custard is set and the top of the pudding is light golden brown. Allow to cool for 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PANETTONE BREAD PUDDING



Panettone Bread Pudding image

Inspired by Autentico by Rolando Beremendi Because of the brown sugar, that makes a nice, caramel-like sauce while the bread pudding is baking, you've got some leeway with the granulated sugar. I used 1/2 cup (100g) in the custard, but you can dial it down to 1/4 cup (50g), or anywhere in between, since panettone is already sweetened. (And they vary in sweetness, too.) If you don't have panettone, you can make this bread pudding with brioche or challah. Since those breads aren't so sweet, I'd use 1/2 cup (100g) of granulated sugar. I have a fairly heavy-duty square cake pan so I melted the butter and brown sugar together right in the pan on the stovetop. If your pan is flimsy, and you're concerned, you can cook the butter and brown sugar together in a saucepan, then pour it into your cake pan. Don't worry too much if the brown sugar is a bit thick and/or lumpy; once baked, it'll smooth out nicely.

Provided by David

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 pounds (560g) panettone, cubed ((about 9 cups))
3/4 cup (170g) packed light or dark brown sugar
6 large eggs (at room temperature)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (100g) granulated sugar ((see headnote))
3 cups (710ml) milk or half-and-half
3 tablespoons (45g) unsalted butter (cubed)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF (180ºC). Spread the cubed panettone on a baking sheet and toast in the oven until lightly browned, turning them over once or twice during baking, so they toast relatively evenly. They'll take about 20 minutes or so.
  • While the panettone is toasting, warm the butter in a sturdy 9-inch (22cm) square cake pan over low heat on the stovetop with the the brown sugar, stirring until the butter is melted and the sugar is moistened. Use a spatula to coax it so it covers the bottom of the cake pan, with no bare spots. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Arrange the toasted panettone cubes evenly in the cake pan.
  • Whisk the eggs together in a medium bowl with the vanilla extract, salt, and granulated sugar. Gradually whisk in the milk until well-combined. Pour the custard over the panettone cubes and press down gently to make sure all the bread cubes are soaking in the custard.
  • Put the cake pan in a larger pan, such as a roasting pan, and fill the larger pan with hot water so it reaches halfway up the outsides of the cake pan. Bake the bread pudding until it feels barely set in the center, but don't overcook it, about 50 minutes. Remove from the oven, and wearing oven mitts, carefully lift the bread pudding out of the water bath and set it on a cooling rack.
  • If serving it warm, let the bread pudding cool for at least 30 minutes. Run a knife around the edges to loosen the bread pudding from the pan and set a large serving platter or rimmed baking sheet upside down over the bread pudding. Grasping both the cake pan and serving platter, simultaneously turn both over, being careful to avoid getting any of the warm brown sugar sauce on you. Remove the cake pan, and cut into squares for serving.

PANETTONE BREAD PUDDING W/ BRANDY CARAMEL SAUCE



Panettone Bread Pudding W/ Brandy Caramel Sauce image

HOLY smokes is this amazing! My first attempt making bread pudding. This is nice and firm and not mushy & custard-like. Just the way I like it! Be sure to use stale bread & a shallow pan 9x13. The day before, slice your bread into 4 big chunks and allow it to dry out. Another great recipe from my Italian Gourmet cooking class. This can be made and baked 2 days ahead of time. Cover, chill and reheat before serving. Cooking time is resting and baking. This is easy to make. The only part that may be a bit difficult is making the caramel. I made it for the first time with ease. Brandy/Whiskey Sauce recipe from Chef Brian Kiepler, Nick & Stef's Steakhouse - LA, CA

Categories     Dessert

Time 2h

Yield 8-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup golden raisin
1/4 cup brandy, heated, substitute whiskey
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened, 1 stick you may use less
1 lb panettone, slice into 1-inch thick slices
3/4 cup sugar
3 large eggs
2 1/2 cups half-and-half
2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
1 pint unsweetened whipped cream, for topping
1/2 cup water
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
3 tablespoons brandy, substitute whiskey

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Soak raisins in the hot brandy for 15 minutes, drain. This makes the raisins less sweet. A nice touch.
  • Meanwhile,heat a heavy skillet over medium heat.
  • Butter panettone slices on both sides. In batches, brown both sides until golden. Set aside to cool on a wire cooling rack.
  • Whisk together remaining ingredients (eggs, half & half, sugar, vanilla).
  • Butter your baking dish or use nonstick spray.
  • Tear toasted bread into bite sized pieces (not too small) and spread evenly into a 9x13 pan.
  • Scatter the raisins over the top of the torn bread.
  • Pour in egg mixture. Press the bread into the egg mixture using your hands.
  • Let stand for 30 minutes, press the bread down into the egg mixture.
  • Place the baking dish in the middle of the preheated oven.
  • Bake until pudding is deep golden brown, crispy along the edges and just set. About 35-40 minutes.
  • SERVING SUGGESTIONS:
  • Serve warm or at room temperature.
  • For a more rustic look, spoon into your individual serving dishes.
  • Top with Brandy sauce & a dollop of whipped cream (recipe below)
  • WHIP the whipping cream! No need to sweeten it. The bread and caramel sauce is plenty sweet!
  • BRANDY CARAMEL SAUCE.
  • Please do not walk away from the stove while making this. This takes time but once the sugar starts to darken -- it goes fast!
  • DO NOT STIR at any time!
  • Pour water into a heavy bottom 2 quart saucepan w/ lid.
  • Pour sugar into the center of the pan, taking care NOT to let the sugar crystals adhere to the sides (they will burn).
  • Cover the pan and bring the mixture to a boil over high heat.
  • Once boiling, uncover and continue to boil until the syrup is thick and STRAW- colored (syrup should register 300F on a candy thermometer if using), about 7 minutes. *I did not use a candy thermometer, I just watched the color carefully. Do not take your eyes off the syrup!
  • Reduce the heat to medium and continue to cook until syrup is a deep AMBER color (temperature should register 350F), about 1-2 minutes.
  • Meanwhile bring the cream and salt to a simmer over high heat (bubbles around the edges of the pot, warmed just enough to take to chill of the cream). If the cream boils before the sugar reaches a dark amber color, pull off the burner and cover to keep warm. *covering is important so a skin does not form over the cream. You can use plastic wrap. Just place the plastic wrap it over the cream.
  • NO STIRRING necessary!
  • Remove the sugar syrup from the heat; VERY CAREFULLY pour 1/4 of the hot cream into the sugar mixture. *(It will bubble vigorously & may spatter). Let the bubbling subside.
  • Add remaining cream, vanilla, lemon juice and brandy/whiskey; WHISK until smooth.
  • Cool to desired temperature, it will thicken as it cools.
  • Drizzle over bread pudding.

3 large eggs
2 egg yolks
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon brandy (optional)

CARAMEL PANETTONE PUD



Caramel panettone pud image

This sweet, rich and fragrant pudding will have you fighting over the last portion

Provided by Ruth Watson

Categories     Dessert, Dinner

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 8

300g golden caster sugar
200ml hot water
about 175g panettone
about 50g unsalted butter , softened
50g golden caster sugar
6large eggs , well beaten
400ml whole milk
284ml carton double cream , plus more double cream to serve

Steps:

  • To make the caramel, put the sugar and hot water into a small, heavy pan over a low-medium heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar has dissolved then raise the heat and boil, without stirring, until the caramel is golden brown.
  • Immediately remove the pan from the heat and quickly pour the caramel into a wide, fairly deep, 1.5 litre/2¾ pint ovenproof dish, swirling it around to cover the base. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 160C/Gas 3/fan oven 140C. Cut the panettone into 1cm/½in thick slices then remove the dark brown, bottom crust. Butter one side of the slices generously. Put in a single layer, butter-side-up, in the dish.
  • Using an electric whisk or food mixer, beat the sugar and eggs in a large bowl for 2 minutes, or until thickened. Heat the milk and cream in a saucepan to just below simmering point, then pour on to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
  • Pour this custard over the panettone, pressing the slices into the liquid. Soak for 10 minutes.
  • Put the dish on to the middle shelf of the preheated oven, and bake for 55-60 minutes. The pudding is ready when the top is pale gold and dry-looking and the custard set to a just-firm shiver - it should not be completely solid as the custard continues to set as it cools. Leave it to rest for 30 minutes before serving with cream.

PANETTONE BREAD PUDDING



Panettone Bread Pudding image

If you've bought a loaf of truly fantastic panettone, made in the Italian tradition from a natural starter, the kind that's airy and melting, we hope you don't have any leftovers. But if you find yourself with an excess of mass-produced panettone, or simply very old panettone that's past its prime, here's how to transform it into something special. Cut it into thick slices, as the pastry chef Elisabeth Prueitt does with brioche, when she makes her bread pudding at Tartine Bakery in San Francisco. Toast them. Now layer the bread in a wide dish, and pour over a whisked custard of milk and eggs. It will look like too much liquid, but as it bakes, the panettone will soak it all up, becoming moist and tender and impossibly rich. It's close enough to a casserole of French toast to make it ideal for a special holiday breakfast, but sweet enough to step in as dessert on a cold night. Vanilla would be a classic way to flavor the custard, but panettone tends to be quite sweet and perfumed already, so taste the bread first before adding extras.

Categories     breakfast, brunch, custards and puddings, dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
6 to 8 slices/550 grams panettone
6 eggs
1/3 cup/67 grams sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
4 cups whole milk
Confectioners' sugar, to garnish

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees and butter a deep baking dish that will fit all the bread slices in a single layer, overlapping slightly, about 9 by 5 inches. Place the sliced panettone on a sheet pan and lightly toast it in the oven so that it's still flexible, but dry to the touch, about 10 minutes. Arrange toast in the baking dish.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs with the sugar and salt, then add the milk and whisk until smooth. Pour through a fine-mesh strainer over the panettone, allowing the excess mixture to fill up the pan. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until the bread has soaked up all the custard and puffed up, and the custard is no longer runny. Allow to cool at least 30 minutes before serving, then use a fine-mesh sieve to dust all over with confectioners' sugar and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the final product.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the pudding tough.
  • Bake the pudding in a water bath. This will help to prevent the pudding from drying out.
  • Let the pudding cool completely before serving. This will help the pudding to set and firm up.
  • Serve the pudding with brandy caramel sauce. This is the perfect way to add a touch of sweetness and richness.

Conclusion:

Panettone bread pudding is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert. It's perfect for any occasion, and it's sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you have some leftover panettone, don't throw it away! Make this bread pudding instead. You won't be disappointed.
