Pretty good. Using a rustic artisan bakery bread will help a lot AND the bread MUST be dried out some to avoid mushy texture.Also try cutting bread thicker. A teaspoon each of vanilla, cinnamon,and a dash of nutmeg helps. Some bread puddings a meant to be soft and moist.If you are looking for a firmer dense texture check out Pioneer woman's baked cinnamon French toast It is awesome.That recipe is best using SOUR DOUGH BAKERY BREAD....DO NOT BOTHER WITH THE ALREADY SLICED TYPE OF BREAD FOR EITHER RECIPE..

Yummy! Tasty, great textures, filling, hearty, fruity, love the ricotta for breakfast. This is a favorite recipe in my house. My husband loves it! The berry bread pudding part is so good, and the crusty tips of the bread baked in the oven are even better! This is great topped with maple syrup or whipped cream.
