Whipping Cream
1.5 cups (Heavy cream)
Whole Milk
2.5 cups (None)

1.25 cups (Granulated)

0.5 teaspoon (Pure vanilla extract)
Salt

Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Lightly butter a 9x13 inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
3
Trim the crusts of the panettone and cut it into 1-inch cubes. Arrange the bread cubes evenly in the prepared baking dish.
4
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, whole milk, and sugar until well combined. Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
5
Pour the custard mixture over the bread cubes, ensuring all pieces are submerged. Gently press down on the bread with a spatula to help it soak in the custard.
6
Let the mixture stand for 30 minutes at room temperature, occasionally pressing the cubes down, so they absorb the custard thoroughly. If desired, you can cover the dish and refrigerate it for up to 2 hours.
7
Once ready, bake the bread pudding in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
8
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
9
While the bread pudding is cooling, prepare the cinnamon syrup by combining water and dark brown sugar in a heavy saucepan.
10
Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Let it boil until it reduces to about 1 cup, which should take around 10 minutes.
11
Once reduced, remove from heat and whisk in the additional heavy cream and cinnamon until smooth.
12
Serve the bread pudding warm, drizzled with the freshly made cinnamon syrup for an extra touch of sweetness.
