This easy Panettone Bread and Butter Pudding with added Baileys is the ultimate Christmas dessert. Festive, fruity and delicious. What’s not to love?!
It’s almost December so we are well and truly GO GO GO with Christmas foods – RIGHT?
I LOVE any make ahead dishes, for Christmas Day and around the festive season in general.
We are all short on time and often oven space so any dishes that are simple, delicious AND can be made ahead are a win for me.
You’ll love this Panettone Bread and Butter Pudding because:
✅ The taste of Christmas in a cosy pud!
✅ Easy to prep in advance for Christmas Day.
✅ Perfect alternative to traditional Christmas pudding.
I wanted to make a festive twist on a great British favourite the Bread and Butter pudding.
I knew Panettone would be the perfect swap for the traditional white bread used in this recipe. Panettone is an Italian sweet bread containing sultanas, citrus peel, crunchy hazelnut frosting and sugar strands.
I hope you like the recipe, it makes a fab alternative for those people not keen on traditional Christmas pudding.
Top tips for making the Panettone Bread and Butter Pudding:
- Do try to allow time for the pudding to soak before baking, it allows the liquid to sink into every bit of the pud.
- Try to use panettone that is slightly stale or leave yours to dry out a little (this stops the pudding from being mushy).
- Be sure to cook this recipe LOW AND SLOW. The oven needs to be pretty cool to keep the dessert soft and ‘wobbly’. If in doubt, or you think your oven may be on the hot side, turn it down lower than 170C and cook for a little longer.
- Serve with ice cream, cream or custard.

I made this to take to friends house and everyone including myself thought it was delicious.
I put 50ml extra Baileys in and 50ml less milk. I also put some orange zest in which made it a little more festive too.
So thanks for your easy delicious recipe .
I am going to look at your other suggested recipes too.
Also made this twice – used salted caramel Irish cream liqueur and out Lindt dark chocolate with a touch of sea salt. Oh it’s so good.
Made this twice and both times its been lush. I have left the pannetone in slices instead and used roughly cut white chocolate instead as not too keen on milk or white. Turned out perfect and even my Bailey’s hating partner enjoyed it.
