For best results, use day-old bread that is slightly stale. This will help it absorb the custard without becoming soggy. Feel free to experiment with different types of bread, such as challah, brioche, or even croissants. If you don't have strawberry preserves, you can substitute with another fruit preserve, such as raspberry or blackberry. The baking time may vary depending on your oven. Check the pudding regularly and adjust the time as needed. This bread pudding can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an additional 10 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.
