For all their uniqueness, many cuisines of different nations have analogues. Such is the Tatar Gubad. The recipe for its preparation resembles a Russian kurnik. The essential difference is that in kurnik layers of different fillings are shifted with pancakes, but in Gubadia they are not, and the filling itself does not resemble traditional Russian in any way.

Gubadia: dough recipe

Ingredients:

• dry yeast - 1 sachet or pressed - 30 g;
• margarine or butter - 100 g;
• milk - 300 ml;
• flour - 3 cups;
• sugar - half a tablespoon;
• s alt - about a teaspoon;
• eggs - 2 pcs

Depending on the type of yeast used, we "create sourdough", as our grandmothers used to say, that is, we knead the dough. We place the pressed yeast in a cup with milk (100 ml) heated to 38 degrees, stir, put all the sugar and a tablespoon of flour there. In about 15-20 minutes, the mixture will turn into a cap of foam, which means our dough is ready. While she comes, we do it ourselvestest. Melt butter or margarine and cool until warm. Pour flour, s alt into a bowl for dough, mix, add butter and eggs, mix well again. Then add the dough and knead the dough, adding warm milk as needed. You should get a soft and plastic mass. Cover with a damp cloth and put in a warm place for two hours. As soon as the dough rises noticeably, we crush it and leave it to rise again. With dry yeast: add it directly to the flour along with s alt and sugar, everything else is the same as above, except that the resting time is significantly reduced.

Gubadia: filling recipe

The main ingredient is court. This is a specific red Tatar cottage cheese. If it is not possible to buy ready-made, we will make it ourselves. It is difficult to imagine a recipe for Tatar Gubadiya without this product.

Court Ingredients:

• low-fat cottage cheese - 400 g;
• sugar - 150 g;
• butter - 200g

In a deep frying pan, heat the cottage cheese until it turns pink. Then add sugar and butter. Boil everything together over low heat, stirring continuously until the mass turns light brown.

Ingredients for filling:

• court (premade or self-made) - 500g;
• boiled rice (preferably long-grain so as not to stick together) - 200 g;
• boiled and chopped eggs - 4-5 pcs.;
• dried fruits steamed and finely chopped - 100 g;
• butter - 100 g;
• sugar - 2 tablespoons.

Gubadiya recipe with cottage cheese: making a pie

Grease a round deep baking dish with butter. We separate 2/3 of the dough, roll it into a circle and transfer it to the mold. Layer the stuffing:

• court;
• rice;
• dried fruits;
• butter;
• sugar;
• eggs.

Roll out the rest of the dough, put it on the pie and pinch nicely.

Gubadia: recipe for sprinkling

And again, associations with other national cuisines: the British call this thing "crumble".

Ingredients:

• butter - 50 g;
• sugar - 2 tablespoons;
• flour - 100g

Mix them together and grind to form crumbs. Sprinkle with them the top of the pie, previously greased with milk. An important point: gubadia does not need time for proofing, it must be immediately put in the oven. Oven at a temperature of 190 degrees for 35-40 minutes. Serve hot and immediately cut into pieces. Bon appetit!
