Notes

For a richer flavor, consider using day-old brioche bread as it absorbs the custard better. You can make your own caramel sauce or use store-bought for convenience. Serve the pudding warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat. If you prefer a firmer texture, slightly reduce the amount of milk in the custard mixture.
