Description

Panettone is a delicious egg-based, Italian bread that is made every Christmas season.  It has just the right (small) amount of fruit studded throughout the bread (yet not at all like fruitcake that is wet and almost all fruit).  Panettone are such large breads, so this recipe and that of the Cherry Panettone French Toast are fantastic and delicious ways to use any leftovers. 

Both of the Panettone recipes look fancy and as if you worked hard in the kitchen, when in fact, they are super easy to put together!
