It’s Christmastime, and chances are you’ve spotted these tall, star-shaped Italian sweet breads around. Pannettone's plain cousin, Italian Pandoro, makes the most delicious French toast (thanks to its lovely, soft interior). So if you were gifted a Pandoro, or you hoard them come November, turn it into an easy breakfast that can feed a crowd.
