Arrange bread slices flat in the egg mixture and let stand 5 minutes to soak up some of the liquid. Turn bread over and let stand 10 minutes longer. Then push bread down so that most of it is covered by the egg mixture. Do not break bread. Set pan in a larger pan filled with water to 1/2 inch from top. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes uncovering pudding for last 10 minutes to brown the top. When done the custard should be soft not firm.
