EGYPTIAN MILK PUDDING (MIHALLABIYA)

This sounds very interesting indeed. I have no idea how long it would take to grind rice and I wonder if rice flour wouldn't work?. I'm guessing at the time required. Posted for Zaar World TourIII. *Update Aug 31 '09: those who know say that rice flour will not work here. You'll need ground rice to make this recipe come out right. I have also lowered the sugar content.Thanks you ladies for the insight :D

BREAD AND MILK PUDDING WITH A TASTE OF THE MIDDLE EAST



Bread and Milk Pudding With a Taste of the Middle East image

I concocted this with the Um Ali pudding I'd eaten in Egypt in mind - I had half a loaf of day old Turkish bread (known as Tennis Racket Bread in our house - it is oval and quilted and about the size of the head of a tennis racket). It also is like a cross between England's Bread and Butter Pudding and Bread Pudding (two similar sounding but rather different national treasures). I used nuts and fruit I had in the cupboard pretty much by the handful - I'm guessing at 1/4 to 1/2 cup most times.

1/2 loaf day old bread (about 250g)
1/4 cup walnut pieces
1/4 cup sliced almonds
1/4 cup dried apricot, diced small
1/4 cup pistachios
1/4 cup sultana
1 pint milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
2 eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon butter, to grease dish
2 tablespoons sugar, to sprinkle over

Steps:

  • Cube the bread - about 1cm or 1/2 inch - no need to remove crust.
  • In large bowl stir bread together with nuts and fruit then tip into greased ovenproof dish (mine was about 7"x11"x2").
  • Heat the milk, stir in sugar, vanilla, nutmeg and eggs.
  • Pour milk mixture over bread mixture and press down the bread so all gets moist.
  • Sprinkle sugar over the top.
  • Cook in moderate/hot oven for 20-30 minutes (until knife blade comes out clean).
  • Flash under hot grill to caramelise the sugar if you wish.
  • Serve warm with pouring cream.
