Tips and Conclusion
Tips:- Use stale bread: Stale bread absorbs the custard better than fresh bread, resulting in a more flavorful and moist pudding.
- Use a variety of breads: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of bread, such as white, wheat, and sourdough. This will give your pudding a more complex flavor.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the pudding tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the pudding in a water bath: This will help to prevent the pudding from drying out and will also give it a more even texture.
- Let the pudding cool before serving: This will help the pudding to set and will also make it easier to slice.
