Cooking Features

If you decide to pamper households or guests with nourishing Bashkir or Tatar pastries, Gubad can be just that dish that will not leave anyone indifferent. In order for the cake to turn out to be delicious, appetizing and similar to the traditional one, served at Tatar weddings, you need to know and take into account a few subtleties.

  • An important ingredient in Gubad is cottage cheese cooked in a special way. In Tatarstan or Bashkiria, you can buy it at almost any grocery store, but in another locality it is problematic to purchase a finished product. If you are trying to bake authentic Gubad, you will have to cook the court yourself. To do this, you need crumbly curd, sugar, ryazhenka or baked milk. The ingredients are mixed, placed in a cauldron or pot with thick walls and non-stick coating, heated over low heat and stew for at least an hour until the liquid evaporates. Cottage cheese dried in this way has a reddish-brown color; it turns out to be dry and sweet in taste. If you are preparing a pie with meat, the court can be cooked with a minimum amount of sugar or replaced with granular curd (in the latter case, authenticity will not be achieved).
  • Rice for Gubadia boil in advance. It should turn out crumbly.
  • Dried fruits also need to be prepared in advance: steamed, boiling water for 10 minutes, squeeze. Large dried fruits (dried apricots, prunes) are sometimes required to be cut, although they are often left whole (of course, without stones). To exclude dried fruits from the composition is impossible - they symbolize wealth and must be present in the wedding cake.
  • Products that make up the filling do not mix. Their number must be odd. The following sequence is considered traditional: the first layer is cottage cheese, the second is rice, the third is eggs, the fourth is rice again, the fifth is dried fruit. In the meat Gubad between two layers, two more are wedged in - meat and one more rice.
  • To make the filling juicy, its top layer is covered with slices of butter or ghee. It is not customary to regret it, therefore gubadiya always turns out to be high in calories.
  • Gubad baked for 50-60 minutes in the oven, preheated to 180-200 degrees. Previously, when there were no such smart assistants as a gas or electric stove, baking Gubad was considered an art, after mastering which the girl was considered ready for marriage. Today, bake the cake so that it does not burn from below, it has become much easier.

Gubad is served hot. If it cools down, its taste will not change for the better. The cooled cake can be heated in the oven or microwave. Eat Gubad with a spoon.
