For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of orange liqueur to the custard mixture. Day-old bread works best for bread pudding as it absorbs the custard more effectively. If the top of the bread pudding starts to brown too quickly during baking, tent it loosely with foil. Feel free to experiment with different types of chocolate, such as milk chocolate or white chocolate, for a variation on the classic recipe.
