Tips:

  • Use high-quality bread for the best results. Stale or dry bread will work better than fresh bread.
  • If you don't have any heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the custard will be thinner.
  • You can add a variety of mix-ins to the bread pudding, such as raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips.
  • Be careful not to overcook the bread pudding. It should be cooked until the custard is set and the bread is tender, but not mushy.
  • Serve the bread pudding warm or at room temperature. It can be topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or fruit.
