Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces day-old flatbread (such as pita or naan)
- 3 cups whole milk
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 cup raisins
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons honey (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Tear the day-old flatbread into small bite-sized pieces and place them in a large, oven-safe dish or deep-sided skillet.
In a medium saucepan, combine the whole milk and sugar, and heat over medium heat. Stir constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the milk is warmed, but not boiling (about 5 minutes).
Add the ground cardamom and cinnamon to the milk mixture, stirring to combine. Remove the saucepan from heat.
Pour the spiced milk mixture evenly over the torn flatbread pieces, ensuring all the bread is soaked. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
In a small skillet, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Pour the melted butter over the bread mixture, spreading it evenly for a rich flavor.
Scatter the raisins and sliced almonds evenly over the top of the dish to add texture and sweetness.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Bake the bread pudding for 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and slightly crispy.
Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle with honey, if desired, before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your comforting, aromatic Fet Ta Yemeni Bread Pudding!
