Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can substitute the Portuguese buns with other types of bread like brioche, challah, or even plain white bread. Just ensure the bread is somewhat stale to better absorb the liquid mixture.
Once the caramel bread pudding has cooled and been refrigerated, cover it tightly with plastic wrap or transfer it to an airtight container. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
If your bread pudding is not set after the recommended baking time, you can return it to the oven and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. Make sure the water bath is still hot and check for doneness by inserting a knife in the center; it should come out clean.
