- Don't skimp on the custard: The custard is what makes bread pudding so moist and delicious. Make sure to use enough custard to completely cover the bread.
- Bake the bread pudding in a water bath: Baking the bread pudding in a water bath helps to prevent it from drying out.
- Serve the bread pudding warm with your favorite toppings: Bread pudding is delicious served warm with a scoop of ice cream, whipped cream, or fresh berries.
