First, you need to make "Simple Semolina Pudding"
What You'll Need
21/2 cups milk

1/4 cup superfine sugar
Steps:
1) Heat milk and vanilla over large saucepan in low heat. Once boiling, remove heat and cover for 30 minutes.
2) Reheat the milk and then remove the vanilla bean. Bring milk to boil once again, and remove from heat. Add semolina gradually while stirring continuously.
3) Add in sugar and return to heat until boil. Stir continously.
4) Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 20 minutes. Make sure to stir often to avoid burning.

5) Chop 11/3 cups balnched almonds finely and mix with 12/3 cups fresh white breadcrumbs.
