👨🍳 Istruzioni
- 1
Prepare the dough: Mix flour, 1 egg yolk, a pinch of salt, and about 50g of melted butter. Knead until smooth, then cover and let rest for at least 30 minutes.
💡 Consigli Professionali: A well-rested dough is easier to roll thinly. - 2
Prepare the fillings: Mix cottage cheese with 2 egg yolks, half the sugar, vanilla sugar, and lemon zest. Mix ground poppy seeds with the remaining sugar and a little melted butter. Mix ground walnuts with the remaining sugar and a little melted butter. Squeeze excess liquid from grated apples.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Ensure apples are well-drained to prevent a soggy gibanica. - 3
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a baking dish (approx. 25x35 cm).
💡 Consigli Professionali: A rectangular dish is traditional for gibanica. - 4
Divide the dough into 9-12 equal portions. Roll each portion as thinly as possible, almost paper-thin. Layer the dough sheets in the baking dish, brushing each layer with melted butter. You can sprinkle breadcrumbs between some layers to absorb moisture.
💡 Consigli Professionali: The key to gibanica is the very thin dough layers, similar to strudel dough. - 5
Spread the fillings over the layered dough in alternating sections: cottage cheese, poppy seeds, apples, walnuts. Ensure even distribution.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Create distinct sections for each filling to maintain their individual flavors. - 6
Cover the entire gibanica with a final layer of thinly rolled dough, brushing it with melted butter. Whisk the remaining 2 egg whites until stiff peaks form and gently spread over the top layer of dough.
💡 Consigli Professionali: The egg white topping helps create a slightly crisp crust. - 7
Bake for about 50-60 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. Let it cool slightly before slicing.
💡 Consigli Professionali: Allowing it to cool slightly makes it easier to cut without crumbling.
💡 Consigli Professionali
- ✓For easier dough handling, you can chill it for a short period if it becomes too sticky.
- ✓If you don't have sour cream, thick plain yogurt can be a substitute.
- ✓The number of layers can be adjusted, but aim for at least 9-12 for the authentic texture.
