This rich bread pudding makes use of a seasonal favorite: panettone. Panettone is an eggy, sweet Italian christmas bread that often has raisins or candied citrus inside. I like to emphasize that by adding extra to the bread pudding. However if candied fruit isn't to your taste, simply omit it from the recipe.
