What type of bread do I use for Bread Pudding?
You can honestly use whatever bread that you have handy. For a fluffy pudding, I would go with a loaf of bread from your local bakery vs. regular sandwich bread. Also, I prefer to use day old Italian or French loaf for my bread puddings. Make sure that you cut it into large cubes for the best results.
Can bread pudding sit out overnight?

Can you make a vegan or plant based bread pudding?
Can bread pudding sit out overnight? Do not let your bread pudding sit out at room temperature for more than 2 hours after it has been baked. You should make sure you eat it within 4 days.
Bake about 1 hour or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Another way to judge whether the pudding is fully baked, is to gently press down on the center of the pudding. If any custard comes up to the top, the pudding needs to be baked a little longer.
Before the inside of your pudding is set, the outer layer can become burnt and dry, which is why covering bread pudding during baking is the best move.
If the bread doesn't soak up enough custard, the end result will be mushy. The solution is to use bread that has dried out a bit. If possible, buy the bread a couple of days early, then slice it and leave it out.
How to Store Bread Pudding. Allow the bread pudding to cool completely after baking. Cover tightly or transfer to a shallow, airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to three days.
Only Cover The Bread Pudding In Oven For Some Of The Time
If you take it out too soon, you'll be left with a mushy and wet middle that hasn't been given the time it needs in the oven to set, but with a super crispy top -- not ideal, to say the least.
Bake until pudding is deep golden brown, is beginning to rise up sides of baking dish, and jiggles very slightly at the center when shaken, about 45 to 50 minutes.
Bread pudding's magic is how the old, dried bread can be re-invigorated with a mixture of milk, eggs, and sugar that it soaks up like a sponge, but when the eggs aren't properly beaten you have a separation of the beaten yolk from the beaten whites which gives you the scrambled egg look and flavor.
It is usual for bread pudding to somewhat collapse when it goes from the oven to the room temperature air, but you surely don't want to further contribute to it becoming flat. Therefore, don't dish it out too quickly.
Pudding is usually runny because it has been stored in the refrigerator for too long or in an open space. Another cause could be due to improper cooking methods.
Can Fresh Baked Bread Be Left Out Overnight? You can leave out most fresh baked bread at room temperature for a couple of days with minimal risk of mold growth or staling.
While it's a delicious cooling dessert, especially for potlucks and casual get-togethers, be sure to keep it chilled and don't let it sit out of the refrigerator for more than an hour. Otherwise, you'll compromise the flavor and texture of the pudding.
Food that has passed its best before date is safe to eat. Best before should be considered a rough guide rather than a strict rule. There is no reason to throw away food that goes past its best before date, it is perfectly safe to eat and will often taste just as good.
