Chocolate Miso Bread Pudding

This pudding has all my favorite things in one dish. Since this pudding is rich, I prefer to serve it by itself, warm and gooey, but I wouldn’t refuse a big scoop of vanilla or green cardamom ice cream on top. If your local bakery makes a challah or brioche topped with poppy or sesame seeds, go for it. I love the extra crunchy texture the seeds add to the pudding. Note that it’s best to start a day ahead so the bread can really soak up the liquid.
