Notes

  1. Feel free to use any variety of bread. I prefer using a baguette to make bread pudding because it creates a nice crispy top layer. However, regular sandwich bread can be used too. Use slightly less (around 3 cups of milk), if not using baguette.
  2. Stale bread gives a better texture to bread pudding than fresh and soft bread.
  3. Don't remove the edges of the bread, they become crunchy on getting baked, making the pudding taste even better.
  4. Add a few teaspoons of instant coffee to milk and create a coffee-flavored bread pudding.
  5. Chocolate lovers may add chocolate chips instead of raisins. Both can be added too. You can also add cocoa powder to the custard.
  6. Instead of black raisins, you can also use golden raisins, cranberries, blueberries, or any dried fruits or berries of choice. You can make bread pudding without them too.
  7. More recipe tips and tricks are shared in the post above. Please follow them to make this recipe.
