For best results, use stale bread that is slightly dry to the touch. This will help it absorb the custard without becoming soggy. Feel free to experiment with different types of bread, such as brioche, challah, or even croissants. If you don't have rum, you can substitute with 1 teaspoon of rum extract or leave it out altogether. To add a crunchy topping, sprinkle the bread pudding with a mixture of brown sugar and chopped nuts (such as pecans or walnuts) before baking. The bread pudding can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold. This Peach Bread Pudding is delicious served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of whipped cream, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
