  • You can add a variety of spices, fruits, and nuts to your bread pudding to customize it to your taste.
  • Bake your bread pudding in a water bath. This will help to prevent it from drying out.
  • Let your bread pudding cool slightly before serving. This will help it to set and make it easier to slice.
