Oh that moist, sweet wonderfulness known as bread pudding! If you’re looking for a pure comfort food, you have found it! Bread pudding is one of those foods that takes something good and makes it better. Many bread pudding recipes start with stale bread – this one starts with fresh. And, believe me, it is well worth purchasing a loaf just to make this amazing recipe.
From Giada De Laurentis of the Food Network, this recipe was originally written to use Panettone Bread (a sweet Italian bread). It is perfect whether you use Panettone (which is sometimes hard to find after the holidays) or use cinnamon bread. Either is absolutely delicious – the cinnamon bread gives it an amazing flavor.
If you love to eat your bread pudding with a sauce, try this easy Amaretto sauce recipe – you will want to eat it with a spoon! It adds an absolutely amazing taste. Serve the sauce on the side, as you will love this bread pudding recipe with or without the sauce.
