    Cut warm bread pudding into wedges. Serve warm pudding with strawberry sauce. Garnish with whipped topping. Cover and refrigerate any remaining bread pudding.

  • Bread pudding made with a bread that's too soft can be very soft and almost mushy. Gently squeeze bread loaves and choose the one that has some resistance and doesn't feel like a marshmallow!
  • You can serve the bread pudding with prepared strawberry topping instead of making the Strawberry Sauce.
