Umm Ali: The Delicious Egyptian Bread Pudding Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 (17.25 ounce) package frozen puff pastry, thawed
• 0.25 cup raisins
• 0.25 cup slivered almonds
• 0.25 cup pine nuts
• 0.25 cup chopped pistachio nuts
• 0.25 cup sweetened, flaked coconut
• 5 cups milk
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for baking.
2. On a lightly floured surface, unroll 1 sheet of puff pastry and roll it out to approximately 17x12-inches. Transfer it to a baking tray.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is puffed up and has a golden brown color, approximately 15 minutes.
4. Break the baked puff pastry into smaller pieces and transfer them to a large bowl. Add raisins, almonds, pine nuts, pistachios, and coconut; toss well to combine. Spread the mixture evenly in a 9x13-inch glass baking dish.
5. In a saucepan, pour in the milk. Stir in the sugar and vanilla extract. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot but not boiling. Pour this mixture over the puff pastry in the baking dish.
6. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Then, turn on the broiler and continue baking until the top achieves a beautiful browned color, about 2 minutes. Allow the Umm Ali to stand for 5 minutes before serving warm.
