Notes

You can use any bread that you want that gives you about one cup of cubes.
The puddings will puff up in the oven but settle down as they cool.
These puddings are totally delicious on their own self, but a little whipped cream or ice-cream would be a great accompaniment.
You can skip rum and replace with milk.
