For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a splash of bourbon or rum to the brown sugar sauce. If you don't have fresh berries on hand, frozen berries can be used. Thaw them slightly and drain any excess liquid before adding them to the bread pudding. The bread pudding can be assembled ahead of time and refrigerated overnight before baking. This allows the bread to fully absorb the liquid and results in an even more flavorful dessert. To prevent the top from browning too quickly, tent the bread pudding with foil during the last 15-20 minutes of baking.
