 BAKED PANETTONE TOAST
by Dolce Vita Baskets 

Ingredients for the syrup:

1 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon lite Karo syrup

6 tablespoons of butter

1/3 cup of buttermilk

Mix all ingredients together in a saucepan over low heat until melted. Pour the mixture in a rectangle baking dish.   Set aside to cool.

Ingredients for the bread:

8 thick slices of Panettone bread

3 eggs

1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

1 teaspoon of cinnamon and/or nutmeg

Beat the eggs and spices together.  Soak the bread in the egg mixture on both sides and then place in the rectangle baking dish.  Cover and refrigerate overnight.

In the morning bake uncovered at 400 degrees for about 20 minutes.  Flip each piece of bread and bake 10 minutes more until golden brown and all the liquid is absorbed.   When complete it will have a sticky consistency. Give it a little shake of confectioner sugar and enjoy!
