I followed the recipe exactly, but my bread pudding didn't turn out as well as I hoped. The pineapple topping was too runny, and the bread pudding itself was a bit dry.

This bread pudding was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. The pineapple topping was nice and caramelized, and the bread pudding itself was moist and fluffy.
