This bread pudding is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a fan of brandy, so I substituted rum instead. It turned out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover bread. I always have a loaf or two of bread that's about to go stale, and this is the perfect way to use it up.
