TIPS AND TRICKS

BREAD: I used an Artisan loaf bread, but you can use a French bread or a Texas toast. The more thick of bread the better. It’s soaks up all that goodness and won’t go soggy.

STORAGE: The pudding can be made ahead of time and can be kept in your fridge for up to 5 days, if you don’t add the sauce. Make to cover it tightly with aluminum foil.
