Your Best Bread Pudding Recipe

[ClaudiaWankleman]

I made some bread pudding at the weekend. Texture was good - not too soggy and not too dry - but the flavour just wasn’t there. It tasted very mild compared to what I expected (and buy from the local bakery).

I spiced with:
Raisins
Cinnamon (ground)
Mild clear honey
Lemon zest.

Has anyone got any suggestions to improve the recipe?

Most of the recipes I've seen include mixed spice and dried peel so those might be places to start. Also, I would switch the honey for muscovado or dark brown sugar

Some vanilla. And that tv detective/chef used good marmalade. That one turns out well.
