Holiday time brings plenty of traditional, delicious treats: candy canes, fruitcakes, chocolate Santas\u2014and panettone! Whether you were gifted the Italian holiday bread or picked up an extra loaf at the grocery store, using it to make panettone French toast is a fantastic idea for a Christmas brunch recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Like most French toast recipes<\/a>, you dip slices of the bread in a cinnamon- and vanilla-flavored custard, then brown them in a skillet with melted butter. Serve panettone French toast with a generous drizzle of real maple syrup and a dollop of whipped cream (hey, it’s the holidays!).<\/p>\n

What is panettone?<\/h2>\n

Panettone is a traditional sweet Italian bread, baked in a tall brown wrapper and sold everywhere during the holiday season\u2014from grocery stores to bakeries and specialty shops in Italy and the United States. The soft, sweet bread features raisins, golden raisins and orange zest like a fruitcake, but with a lighter crumb. When the loaves come out of the oven, they’re cooled upside down to help preserve their airy texture. Like most homemade baked goods, homemade panettone<\/a> can be much more delicious than store-bought.<\/p>\n
