Prekmurska Gibanica
the apples, slice them and mix them with sugar and cinnamon.
Preparation
- Grease the baking mould well, roll out the short pastry dough and line the base of the baking mould with it, then prick it gently with a fork.
- Stretch the strudel dough and coat it with oil.
- Pull it thinly over the baking mould so that the thick edges hang down over the mould. Cut off the edges to make 8 equal-sized sheets of strudel dough.
- Place the first sheet of strudel dough on the short pastry dough, coat with poppy seed filling and sprinkle with butter and the sour cream mixture.
- Then place the second sheet of strudel pastry on top, coat with curd cheese filling and sprinkle with butter and the sour cream mixture.
- Cover with the next sheet of strudel dough, coat with walnut filling and again sprinkle with butter and the sour cream mixture.
- Coat the fourth sheet of strudel dough with the apple filling and sprinkle with butter and the sour cream mixture. The Gibanica is now half-assembled.
- Repeat steps 4 through 7 until you end up with 8 uniform layers.
- Finally, cover with a sheet of strudel dough and pull it over the edge of the baking mould, then sprinkle with butter and cream.
- Prick the Gibanica with a long needle again. Bake in a pre-heated oven or bread oven at 175°C for about 75 minutes.
- Coat with sour cream and allow it to cool a little
- Cut into triangles, sprinkle with icing sugar and serve.
Note: You can also assemble the individual layers of the Prekmurska
Gibanica in a different order. The only important point is that
moist (curd cheese, apple) and drier (poppy seed, walnut) fillings
should alternate.
