Chef's Notes
Listen closely to your ingredients, for they speak of discipline and patience. When scalding your milk, never let it boil over or the dairy spirits will haunt your custard with a burnt disposition. Treat your day-old bread like an honored guest, allowing it to drink in the liquid gold slowly and evenly.
Pro Tip
Never rush the water bath, for it is the mystical shield that prevents your delicate custard from curdling into scrambled chaos. If your bread is too fresh, simply toast the cubes in the oven for a few minutes to banish unwanted moisture before they meet the milk.
Kitchen Catastrophe Warning
If you dare to use fresh, spongy bread instead of day-old cubes, or if you pour that scalding milk over your eggs without proper whisking, you shall present your esteemed guests with a soggy, scrambled-egg casserole rather than a majestic bread pudding, plunging our noble kitchen into absolute disgrace!
The Jester's Corner
Royal Court Comedy
I asked the King if he wanted a slice of bread pudding, and he replied, 'Only if you can prove it hasn't been a stale loaf for longer than my current marriage.'
The Culinary Science
Behold the wonders of chemistry! Heat causes the proteins in the eggs to uncoil and bond together into a delicate, moisture-trapping network, transforming liquid milk and eggs into a velvety, solid custard while the starch molecules in the cornstarch swell to thicken your citrus sauce.

Starch Retrogradation Reversal
Storage Science
Store at room temperature in a breathable bread bag or paper wrapper for up to 2 days. DO NOT refrigerate, as the cold accelerates starch retrogradation (staling). For long-term storage, freeze tightly wrapped.
Reheating Science
To reverse staling, flick a few drops of water onto the crust and reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 5-8 minutes. The steam will re-gelatinize the starches, making the crumb soft and the crust crisp.
