Notes

Tips and Tricks

Cut the bread into small cubes for a more consistent texture.
Let the bread soak in the milk mixture for at least 15-20 minutes before baking to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
Make sure the milk mixture is well combined before pouring over the bread.
For a crispier top, you can sprinkle some brown sugar on top before baking.
