I'm not a big fan of nutmeg, so I omitted it from the recipe. It still tasted great!

I didn't have any raisins on hand, so I used dried cranberries instead. They worked great!

The bread pudding was a bit dry. I think I should have added more milk.

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

This was my first time making bread pudding, and I was really happy with the results! The texture was perfect - moist and custardy, but still with a bit of a bite from the bread. The flavor was also great - the spices and vanilla really came through.
