Then he cut off the crusts for another use, cut up the bread, soaked in milk with lots of eggs, and put it in a Turk's head mold. When he unmolded it, that bread pudding almost looked like it had the texture of custard.
I think he put in Euroropean style candied fruits (I'd pick out all the green citron), mostly candied lemon and orange peel, then big pieces of lemon and orange zest, more like shavings, have done that with lemon for my rhubarb pie B4 I got a zester. Also I think he had sultana raisins in it.
So I would have liked it with or without the fruit, but, like you, I was going to leave out the peel because to get quality peel you either have to make it yourself, been there, done that, with orange, by the time i got to it it had gotten moldy in the fridge. Was going to dip in choc have done that before.
It's glaceed, terribly expensive, and I decided I can have and do everything. Alas, I didn't get any of it done. The bread looks to have a sweet, airy texture, maybe like Sally Lunn which I've never made either.
I'm going nutz with all my recipes and can't possibly make them all. A lot of my favorite recipes are a lot of extra work. I still haven't done my cake. Think I'll sieve the coffee grounds and put the eggs away and try to make myself do it tomorrow.
No I would never put nuts in it for any reason. I used to use nuts but can't chew very well, not worth it. Miss pecan pie though. Have read reviews, that Lyle's syrup is 10 times better than Karo for those. Walmart has it quite a bit cheaper than amazon if they haven't run out. It kept for me since 2012 until I finally opened it, is also used for sticky pudding, I think I'll skip that, too.
About half the things I try are unsatisfactory. When i get a winner, even if nobody else seems to like it, I'm a happy camper. When you make something repeatedly, you can do it faster and more efficiently and without looking up ingredients. Happy cooking!
I can't get just the photo of the panettone bread pudding, you will get a kick out of the way he talks and acts if you bother to watch it. It's gorgeous bread pudding, and he cuts himself my size of slice.
My husband loves bread pudding. I’ve never tried it with panettone before. My old Italian neighbor used to make the BEST panettone. She would leave out the fruit/nuts and would made knotted buns out of the dough. No one made it like she did. I wish I could have gotten the recipe for it before she passed away. She was such a happy and wonderful cook.
