I've just been given a Panettone, the traditional Italian cake by our neighbours and although it's gonna be a pain to lug back to Wales from Florida i'm going to because A. They were good enough to give it to me and B. I fancy doing something with it over Xmas.

Now at the moment i'm thinking something like an Italian style bread pudding with maybe a splash of Grappa or Ammaretto in the custard mix but i'm open to Food & Drinker suggestions from the fine people on here!

Your suggestion was good, it's much more bready than cakey in texture, bit dry for me liking.

I thought it may be a bit dry as well. I seem to recall Giorgio Locatelli doing a bread pudding but I couldn't remember if he used panettone, I think he did though.

Thanks Whack! I'll ring the Mrs to Sky+ the show. I always like to watch 'em make it rather than follow a recipe. Cheers!

I've used it for posh bread and butter pudding and french toast, both lovely.

Aldo Zilli did a bread and butter pudding with one on the Market kitchen I watched last night. Looked quite nice.

I'm from Milan, where the Panettone is born: the traditional way of making "something else" with it is to warm up a slice, about half an inch thick, in the oven or in the toaster, then spread mascarpone on it - mascarponw being a spredable, sweet cheese orginating from the same area (Lodi, actually, just around the corner................).
You can also use apricot jam, and whipped cream. If you cook it more than just warming it, however, it's very likely it will go dry. I wouldn't do very much different from just adding somethin else to it as it is.

We also cut panettone into slices and toast it - tastes great with butter on it to have with coffee.

It is a cheese that can be used to hide a horse.......

I'll get my coat.......

Actually, I've heard that Panettone is very good with a light dousing of rum then lightly grilled. Must try it some time.
