Sweet Gubadia with rice and raisins

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake sweet gubadia with rice and raisins? Prepare the ingredients for the dough. Sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. This will make the dough more tender. Melt the butter in the microwave or in a water bath and cool to room temperature. Pour sugar, a tablespoon of flour, yeast into a bowl, pour warm milk. It should not be scalding, otherwise the yeast in it will die. Mix everything and leave for 10-15 minutes in a warm place.

2. STEP 2

   

   Beat a chicken egg into a bowl with the yeast mixture, add sour cream, pour in melted butter and add a pinch of salt. Mix everything thoroughly until smooth.

3. STEP 3

   

   Pour in the sifted wheat flour in parts, each time mixing it into the dough first with a spoon and then with your hands. You may need a little more or a little less flour than the specified amount. Focus on the consistency of the dough: it turns out to be an elastic and smooth dough and should not remain on your hands. Place the dough in a bowl, cover with cling film and leave it in a warm place. While the dough is rising, start preparing the filling.

4. STEP 4

   

   Prepare the necessary ingredients for the filling. I used short grain rice. It is better to take melted butter. Rinse the rice thoroughly until the water is clear, put it in a saucepan, cover with water and put on fire. When the water boils, add a tablespoon of sugar and a pinch of salt, reduce the heat to medium and cook the rice for about 8 minutes. Then drain the water and let the rice cool slightly.

5. STEP 5

   

   Hard-boil chicken eggs, cool, peel and finely chop or grate.

6. STEP 6

   

   Rinse the raisins well, cover with hot water and leave for 10 minutes until they steam and become soft. Melt the butter in a water bath or in the microwave and cool to room temperature. Turn on the oven at 180 degrees.

7. STEP 7

   

   Divide the dough into two unequal parts. Roll out most of it into a thin layer of such a size that it is 5-6 centimeters larger than the mold. Grease the mold with oil and place a layer of dough on it so that the edges hang down.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place some rice on the dough and sprinkle some raisins on top.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place chopped boiled eggs on top of the raisins.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place raisins and rice on top again. Pour melted butter over everything. Those who like it sweeter can add the remaining spoon of sugar to sprinkle the filling.

11. STEP 11

    

    Roll out the second part of the dough into a small circle and cover the filling with it. Pinch the edges so that the cake is shaped like a wreath. Prick the top of the gubadia with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking, and brush with beaten egg and milk. Place the pie pan in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 25-30 minutes until golden brown. The exact time depends on the features of your oven.

12. STEP 12

    

    Remove the finished gubadia from the oven. Let the cake cool slightly, then decorate the top with powdered sugar. Enjoy your tea!

I love national dishes. It is always very interesting to try what representatives of another culture eat. This time I decided to cook sweet Gubadia with rice and raisins. I used 400 grams of flour (high grade), the same amount as indicated by the author. I added an egg to the dough, category C1. The dough turned out very good: soft, tender, very pliable. It rolls out perfectly and does not stick to your hands, rolling pin, or board. For the filling, I boiled four C2 category eggs. I took round grain rice. Instead of raisins, I added the same amount of candied fruits. I baked Gubadia in a cast iron pan with a diameter of 26 cm for 30 minutes. It seemed to me that Gubadia tasted very similar to Easter cake. For me, the set of ingredients for the filling for a sweet pie was quite unusual, but it turned out very tasty. The filling is moderately sweet. Sweet rice, eggs and candied fruits combine very harmoniously with each other. The pie turned out very tasty. Thank you very much for the recipe!
