Frequently asked questions

. Can I use any type of bread for this recipe?

Yes, you can use any type of bread you have on hand. However, I recommend using a slightly stale bread as it will absorb the custard mixture better.

While the recipe calls for white chocolate, you can certainly experiment with dark chocolate if you prefer a richer and slightly bitter flavor profile.

. Can I make this recipe ahead of time?

Absolutely! In fact, making this dessert ahead of time allows the flavors to meld together even more. Simply store it in the refrigerator and reheat it before serving.

Whole milk provides a creamier and richer texture to the bread pudding. However, you can use lower-fat milk if you prefer a lighter version.
