This is a very nice basic bread pudding recipe. I thoroughly enjoyed dipping down through the bread to get to the caramel sauce that forms on the bottom. I did feel there was more custard than could be absorbed by 2 pieces of bread, so added a couple more slices and still wound up with a very wet pudding. So in the future I might use more bread or less milk. I made this in 4 individual ramekins and baked for 65 minutes. I added walnuts and a touch of bourbon to 2 of them and think the recipe lends itself well to whatever additions one might wish to make.
