Make sure the bread is stale before using it. This will help the pudding to set properly.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the pudding tough.
Bake the pudding in a water bath. This will help to prevent the top from browning too much.
Let the pudding cool completely before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the pudding to set properly.
