For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding 1/2 cup of chopped pecans or walnuts to the bread pudding mixture before baking. If you don't have pumpkin bread, banana nut bread or even challah bread can be substituted. Adjust the sugar accordingly based on the sweetness of the bread. The caramel rum sauce can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. Reheat gently before serving. For a non-alcoholic version, replace the rum with 1 teaspoon of rum extract or simply omit it.
