- Be generous with the butter when greasing the baking dish. This will help prevent the bread pudding from sticking.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the bread pudding tough.
- Bake the bread pudding until it is set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
