This is a great recipe, but it is very time-consuming. I would recommend making it on a day when you have plenty of time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the bread pudding came out dry. I think I needed to add more milk.

This bread pudding is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
