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)

Directions

Step 1

Tear the day-old flatbread into small bite-sized pieces and place them in a large, oven-safe dish or deep-sided skillet.

Step 2

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).

Step 3

Add the ground cardamom and cinnamon to the milk mixture, stirring to combine. Remove the saucepan from heat.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Scatter the raisins and sliced almonds evenly over the top of the dish to add texture and sweetness.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Remove the bread pudding from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Drizzle with honey, if desired, before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy your comforting, aromatic Fet Ta Yemeni Bread Pudding!
