"panettone bread pudding" news and stories

Panettone is one of the many holiday sweets I look forward to every year. Its balance between the moist, soft, fluffy inside and crunchy nut exterior is precious. Apparently the aroma of this bread permeates villages throughout northern Italy this time of the year. Ah, I yearn to be there at this very moment!

As a result of my panettone obsession, I tend to buy a lot more than I can eat before it goes stale. Fortunately, there are several ways to cooking panettone even after it loses its delicious soft texture. For example, it makes a distinctive fruity french toast and bread pudding.

Below are 8 ways to use stale panettone:

1. Panettone Bread Pudding
   
2. Cardamom and Orange Panettone Toast
3. Panettone French Toast
4. Arugula and Roasted Fruit Salad with Panettone Croutons
5. Panettone Stuffing
6. Panettone Panzanella with Pancetta and Brussels Sprouts
7. Eggnog-Panettone Bread Pudding
8. Grilled Panettone with Strawberry Ice Cream and Almonds

Where are some other ways you cook stale panettone?

Coming from an Italian family, Panettone was always on the big after dinner goodies table every Christmas. And it sat there the whole time. I don't remember anyone actually opening up the box and eating a slice, but my brother brought it every year and put it on the table along with the pies and brownies and dips cookies.

I thought of that after seeing these three recipes using the bread. They actually make me want to try Panettone again, especially this recipe for French Toast (the other recipes are for Panettone Bread Pudding and Mini Panettone and Pear Sandwiches).
