Panettone is a rich, eggy bread with raisins, citron and citrus peel usually found at the holidays. It originated in Milan but is now found all over Europe as well as the U.S.
While it is delicious as is or toasted for breakfast, it makes a wonderful bread pudding. It can be a simple dessert or you can fancy it up by adding some crème anglaise You can make it truly elegant by adding a bruleé topping and serving it with an individual sauce boat of the crème anglaise. Because both the pudding and the sauce can be made ahead, it's a perfect dessert to prepare for company.
