Bread Pudding: What is a good recipe for bread pudding?

I call this Bread Pudding: "Goddam with the Bread Pudding, Woman!" (for that is what a housemate called it after I stole his bourbon) At any rate, as follows: Chunk of stale bread (chunk=approximately 4" by 15" or 60 square inches or equivalent sq. cm) I used a ciabatta loaf, but there are schools of thought that an egg-based bread or more dense bread are better. Whatever. Tear into 1" cube (or equivalent metric conversions) 4 Tb.

Butter 3/4 cup honey 8 egg yolks beaten 1 cup heavy cream 2 cups milk* 1/2 cup bourbon (or more, Beam is fabulous)* 1 tsp. Vanilla 1/2 tsp. Salt 1/2 tsp.

Nutmeg 1 1/2 cup nuts or raisins or apple chunks (I love this with pecans, but black walnuts are good, too if you can get them) Syrup: 1/2 cup honey 3/4 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup butter 1 can sweetened condensed milk *I prep by feel, so these measurements are approximate. For a science-based accounting of measures and effects consult a source like Cooks Illustrated Grease (I use a butter and oil blend) two ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
