Tips:

- Always use high-quality bread for the best flavor and texture. Stale bread is ideal for bread pudding, as it absorbs the custard more easily. - Use a variety of breads to create a more interesting flavor and texture. Try using a mix of white, wheat, and rye bread. - Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors. Add in dried fruits, nuts, chocolate chips, or spices to create a unique bread pudding. - Make sure to soak the bread cubes in the custard for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the bread absorb the custard and prevent it from becoming dry. - Bake the bread pudding in a water bath to create a moist and creamy texture. - Serve the bread pudding warm with a scoop of ice cream or whipped cream.
