Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 packet roqaq (a type of cracker bread)
1 cup mixed nuts
1 tablespoon coconut, grated
1 tablespoon unsalted butter or 1 tablespoon fresh cream
1 cup milk (rich, well-sweetened)

Steps:

  • Dry the roqaq or gullash, 1-2 sheets at a time, for 1-2 minutes in a hot oven, enough to make them dry and crisp.
  • Crush with fingers and place in lightly greased oven dish.
  • Mix nuts and coconut, and scatter on top.
  • Warm the sweetened milk and pour over the dessert.
  • Dab with butter or cream, and placed in moderately hot oven (325-375 F) until top is browned.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread absorbs the custard better and results in a creamier pudding.
  • Slice the bread evenly: This will ensure that the bread cooks evenly.
  • Use full-fat milk: Full-fat milk will give the pudding a richer flavor and texture.
  • Add flavorings: You can add flavorings such as vanilla extract, cinnamon, or nutmeg to the custard to enhance the flavor.
  • Don't overcook the pudding: The pudding should be cooked until it is just set. Overcooking will result in a dry and rubbery pudding.

Conclusion:

Omm Ali is a delicious and decadent Egyptian bread and butter pudding that is perfect for a special occasion. It is made with layers of stale bread, custard, and nuts, and is then baked until golden brown. The pudding is rich and creamy, with a slightly crispy top. It is a popular dessert in Egypt and is often served during Ramadan. If you are looking for a new and exciting dessert to try, Omm Ali is definitely worth a try.
