Gubadia with dried apricots

We will start cooking by washing raisins and dried apricots thoroughly under running water. Then put them in a bowl and pour hot water from the kettle. We leave the raisins and dried apricots in the water for 15 minutes, then drain it, and put the dried fruits on a paper towel so that they dry up a little.

At this time, we will do the pie dough. Sift the flour, pour it into a large container, then add granulated sugar and salt to it. Mix flour with sugar and salt and add softened butter to them. Not melted! Just softened, at room temperature, so you need to get it out of the refrigerator in advance. Next, we grind the contents of the bowl into crumbs. It is convenient to do this with your hands.

Pour baking powder into a bowl with the resulting crumbs and mix everything again. Pour the milk, which should be warm - 35-40 degrees Celsius. We break the chicken egg. Mix everything and knead the dough. Knead until smooth, then wrap the dough in plastic wrap and put it away in the cold for half an hour.

When this time has passed, we spread the dough on the work surface, lubricated with a small amount of vegetable oil.. A third of the dough is left for the lid of the pie, and the rest is rolled into a circle and laid out in a baking dish covered with baking paper. The form should be large, but you can use several small ones. We form the sides.

Next we spread the filling:

- evenly distribute the court with the bottom layer,

- spread the pre-boiled and cooled rice with the second layer, sprinkle it with granulated sugar,

- the next layer is raisins and dried apricots, which must be cut into small pieces before that,

- the fourth layer is finely chopped hard-boiled eggs, which must also be cooled,

- the final layer of the filling will be pieces of butter evenly distributed over the surface of the egg layer.

Roll out the remaining piece of dough into a circle, cover the future pie, pull up the edges of the dough very carefully from below, try to pinch the edges. We put the mold in a preheated 180 degree oven for 25 minutes.

At this time, we make crumbs by mixing flour, sugar and soft butter in a bowl. 25 minutes have passed - open the oven, lubricate the surface of the pie with vegetable oil using a cooking brush. Sprinkle the cake with crumbs on top and put it back in the oven, only now for 8-10 minutes.

It is necessary to serve gubadia with fragrant tea!
