Tatar pies with dried apricots. Balish with dried apricots (classic sweet Tatar pie)

Gubadia in its traditional version (sweet) is served with tea, but there are other tasty recipes, for example, with meat. This dish is a multi-layer closed round pie and belongs to the Bashkir and Tatar (Gebediya) national cuisine. The set of products of the classic recipe includes dough (yeast/unleavened), eggs, rice, dried apricots, raisins, sweet cottage cheese boiled in melted milk with butter (kurt, kyrt, korot, kort, kurut - various names for this cottage cheese).

Traditional version of the Tatar dish

Tatar Gubadiya is among the traditional dishes at a wedding. It is believed that a girl who has learned how to prepare this dish correctly is ready for marriage.

Dough ingredients:

  • eggs – 1 pc.;
  • flour – 300g;
  • butter – 50g (+ 30g for greasing the mold);
  • milk – 100ml;
  • salt - a pinch;
  • sugar – 15g;
  • long grain rice (raw) – 1 cup;
  • sugar – 120g;
  • milk – 120ml;
  • court – 300g;
  • dried apricots (handful) – 1 pc.;
  • raisins (not soaked) – 1 cup;
  • eggs – 5 pcs.;
  • butter – 350g;
  • salt - to taste;
  • butter – 50g;
  • flour – 100g;
  • sugar (can be regular or vanilla) – 0.5 tablespoons;

kyrt (for 400-500g of ready-made red cottage cheese):

  • milk – 2l;
  • Ryazhenka/katyk – 0.5 l;
  • sugar – 4-5 spoons.

Since it is extremely difficult to prepare the exact required amount of kurut, since a lot depends on milk, this recipe is calculated with a reserve. With the finished cottage cheese, if there is any leftover, you can bake it or simply serve it with tea.

It is better to prepare the court yourself, adhering to the following recommendations:

  1. When choosing milk for court, you should give preference to homemade, bottled or store-bought milk in regular plastic bags, since it curdles faster and better.
  2. Milk is poured into a fireproof container with a thick bottom and walls and brought to a boil, after which fermented baked milk or katyk is added.
  3. After the milk has curdled, the heat on the stove is reduced, and while stirring, everything is cooked until the excess liquid has completely evaporated. Since this is a fairly long process, the whey can be carefully drained using a sieve. However, the traditional recipe for Gubadiya involves the first, longer method.
  4. When most of the whey has evaporated and it just covers the curd, add sugar. When stirring over low heat, the cottage cheese is brought to the desired consistency: dry without liquid, formed into lumps, and not pasty. “Red” cottage cheese got its name because of its color, which, of course, is more similar to brown or the color of baked milk, fermented baked milk.

While the delicious curd mass is cooling, you can begin preparing other ingredients for the filling and directly preparing the pie. Instructions on how to prepare gubadia at home:

  1. The crumbs for sprinkling the baked goods are pre-prepared: sifted flour is mixed with sugar (the amount is indicated in tablespoons) and butter, and ground until crumbs are formed. Placed in the refrigerator.
  2. The washed rice is soaked in hot water for half an hour (you can reduce the time by 10 minutes). Pour the prepared rice into salted boiling water (2-3 liters) and cook at high boil for no more than 7 minutes, after which it is drained in a colander.
  3. The raisins are carefully sorted: the stalks and spoiled raisins are removed. Together with dried apricots, it is filled with hot water to swell. After 15 minutes, drain into a colander.
  4. The sifted flour is poured into the container in which the dough will be kneaded. Then an egg, salt, sugar are added to the milk and mixed. The resulting mixture is poured into the flour, a dough mass of soft and elastic consistency is kneaded. It is not necessary to use this particular dough recipe for gubadia; you can prepare yeast dough.
  5. The oven is heated to a temperature of 180C. Meanwhile, grease the baking dish with butter.
  6. One half of the dough is rolled out into a large layer and laid out in a mold so that its edges are long enough to overlap (they should hang over the edges of the mold).
  7. Rice is laid out on top of the layer in a thin layer, which is covered with a court. Then again a layer of rice, followed by chopped eggs, again rice and finally dried fruits. Pieces of butter are placed on top (if desired, you can simply pour melted butter on top).
  8. The second half is rolled out into a layer that covers the filling, the edges are pinched. Punctures are made on the top in several places using a fork or toothpick. Then everything is sprinkled with previously prepared crumbs.
  9. Sweet gubadia is baked for about 50 minutes. If it is very browned but not yet baked, you can cover it with damp paper.

The finished baked goods are removed from the mold and, after cooling, served with tea. He is very beautiful in cross-section, as his numerous photographs prove.

Traditional recipe for Bashkir dish

Bashkir Gubadiya is not much different from the Tatar one, and is also prepared in various variations. This is not necessarily a traditional set of products; this multi-layer pie can include minced meat, prunes and others. Let's consider one of the most delicious recipes - with meat.

Ingredients:

  • flour – 1.2 kg;
  • eggs – 8 pcs.;
  • ghee – 100g;
  • butter – 200g;
  • cream – 1 glass;
  • rice – 1.5 cups;
  • onion – 1 pc.;
  • minced meat (beef) – 500g;
  • sugar – 1 spoon;
  • raisins – 200g;
  • court – 250g;
  • salt – 0.5 tablespoons.

The cooking process includes several stages, but is somewhat simpler than the previous version. In the photo this pie looks very appetizing. Step by step cooking looks like this:

  1. 2 eggs are driven into the container for kneading the dough, cream and 100g of melted butter are poured. Then add a tablespoon of sugar and half a spoon of salt. After mixing, a kilogram of pre-sifted flour is added in parts. The dough is kneaded until it begins to lag well from the hands and walls of the dish. Covered with a towel, it is left for some time (while the rest of the products are being prepared).
  2. Like Gubadiya with kort, this pie recipe involves making crumbs: butter (100g) is mixed with flour (200g) and ground until crumbs are formed.
  3. The rice is boiled in the usual folding way: in a large amount of salted water until tender, then drained in a colander.
  4. The chopped onion is fried together with the minced meat in a frying pan until almost done. Add salt to taste.
  5. Hard-boiled eggs are peeled and finely chopped.
  6. The raisins are sorted out, filled with hot water, and placed in a colander after 15-20 minutes. The ingredients for the filling are ready.
  7. The dough is divided into two parts (1/5 and 4/5). Most of it is rolled out into a thin layer, which is laid out in a baking dish, previously greased with oil (the edges should hang over the pan).
  8. On the bottom, covered with dough, the filling is laid out in layers in the following order: rice, court, rice, minced meat, rice, egg crumbs, rice, raisins.
  9. The remaining dough mass is rolled out into a round-shaped layer, which covers the filling. The edges are pinched and the top is sprinkled with crumbs.
  10. The Gubadiya pie is baked for about 50 minutes at a temperature of 180-200C (the oven is preheated to the specified temperature).
  11. The finished dish is served hot.

It should be noted that you can exclude the court from the set of products, then you will get a delicious salty pastry with a filling of meat, rice and eggs, which is more familiar to Russian people.

A simplified recipe for this pie

Since you don’t always have several hours of free time to prepare this dish, but you want to pamper yourself and your family, you can use a simple recipe. This raisin pie takes just one hour to prepare and serves enough for 6 people.

Ingredients:

  • unleavened dough (ready-made, store-bought) – 0.8 kg;
  • raisins – 350g;
  • butter – 400g;
  • court (factory-made or homemade) – 200g;
  • rice – 800g;
  • eggs – 6 pcs.

In this version of the pie, not only the set of ingredients is simplified, but also the preparation itself. Scheme:

  1. The rice is boiled in a large amount of water until cooked (possibly until al dente, which is applicable to pasta - almost ready, but still crunchy in the teeth). That is, the rice should be crumbly and slightly undercooked so that when baking it does not turn into a viscous porridge.
  2. The raisins are sorted and washed under hot water (saves the time required for pre-soaking). It can be mixed with dried apricots, if available, but this is not at all necessary.
  3. Hard-boiled eggs are peeled and finely chopped.
  4. The dough is divided into two unequal parts (about 1/5 should be left for the “lid”). A large piece is rolled out into a layer and placed on a greased form.
  5. The filling is laid out on this layer in layers in the following sequence: rice, red cottage cheese (kort), rice, eggs, rice, raisins.
  6. Melted butter is poured over the filling and covered with a layer that is rolled out from the remaining dough. The edges are pinched.
  7. Gubadiya is baked with rice until cooked at 200C. Remove from the mold and serve after cooling.
  8. Even though this recipe does not call for crumbs, it is still better to use them. To prepare it, you will need butter and flour in a 1:2 ratio (for example, 50g of the first ingredient and 100g of the second): the products are ground until an oily crumb is formed. You need to sprinkle it on the cake, of course, before baking.
