If you use a smaller baking dish, bake for a bit longer to make sure it bakes all the way through. If needed, cover with foil to prevent the top from browning too much. Different breads will vary the finished texture of the bread pudding. Brioche and other very soft breads will be more moist after baking. They might require a little longer of a baking time than a firmer bread.

Notes

This recipe is extra delicious with a homemade pumpkin puree. Depending on the pumpkin you make the puree out of, some homemade purees will be a bit more watery than the commercially bought canned purees. If so, reduce the amount of puree to 3/4 cup or increase baking times to make sure it bakes through.
