At its simplest, you take bread, tear it into chunks, then mix it with sweetened, beaten eggs and milk. Bake till done inside.
My favorite way to make bread pudding, though, is this:
1 package day-old croissants (6)
6 eggs
1 cup milk (or part milk, part cream)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Jam or preserves
Sugar & cinnamon to garnish
Tear the croissants into large chunks (about 6-8 chunks per croissant). Beat eggs, milk, sugar, salt, vanilla and cinnamon. Pour over croissants; mash them into the egg mixture so that they absorb it all.
Place the egg-soaked croissant pieces in a baking dish. If desired, place a few spoonsful of jam strategically throughout the croissants as you assemble the bread pudding; the idea is that when you scoop out a serving after it's done, you'll get some of the jam filling in every serving of pudding. (You can also mix raisins, sultanas, currants, or other dried fruits in with the base.)
When you have filled your baking dish, dust the top with cinnamon and sugar.
Bake in a preheated 350 degree F oven for 45 minutes; to test, insert a sharp knife into the middle of the pudding. If the knife does not come out clean, the pudding is not yet done; leave it in for 5 mote minutes, then test again.
I like my bread pudding warm (but not piping hot), topped with whipped cream.
Other variations: you can add sliced almonds, chopped pecans, and other flavorings. One of my favorite bread puddings has toasted pecans and Jack Daniels whisky in it... I may have to make some soon. :-)

My bread pudding is the best!
Use old, stale, french bread.
Cut in pieces and lay in baking pan.
In blender mix 2 quarts of heavy cream (whipping cream) and about 6,7 eggs and 1/2 cup of sugar and some cinnamon. Pour over the bread, add some peaches and bake for about 25 minutes.
