Preparation of the dough. You can use any yeast dough (according to your recipe or purchased). I offer proven over the years the following recipe. The amount of ingredients given for 2 standard portions of the dough for pies. It you get somewhere in 1/4 of the more than you will need for baking a cake. The rest you can freeze and use later for pies. In a bowl pour 1.5 glass of warm milk, and 1.5 tbsp. warm water (you can use only milk or only water). There pour the yeast, salt, sugar, eggs, butter. Stir until smooth consistency. Toss in the flour. It is kneaded, the dough should not stick to hands, but should not be very steep. Put in a warm place. Waiting for it to 2 times (after it rises, knead, if necessary add some flour).

While suitable dough, prepare the filling. Capelin in advance remove from the freezer. Clean, cut the fins, tail, head, draw out the entrails, rinse the abdomen (I separate the black film from the ribs in order to avoid bitter taste). Eggs to leave.

5-7 bulbs, peel and cut into cubes of medium size (not finely) and fry until half done when the onions starts to show through.

At this point, the dough is ready. A baking sheet covered with parchment paper, grease with oil. Turn on the oven, so she warmed up. To prepare the bottom layer of the cake take a little more than half of the test. Roll out, focusing on the size of your molds or baking sheet. Spread on a baking sheet the bottom layer of the cake, to provide that was high sides.

Put the anchovies in a dense layer. Salt.

Pilchards onion. Season with salt and pepper, add 3 Bay leaves.

From the remaining dough roll out the top layer of the pie. Well sculpt the edges of the cake, trim the excess edges to bend. Decorate if desired with flowers/stripes (what the imagination will suffice) from the remnants of the test.

By the way, here's how much dough I have left.

Beat the egg, brush the pie to form a beautiful crust. Put in the oven on the lowest temperature, bake for 1 hour. During this time the bones of capelin is well baked and not at all felt. Towards the end the temperature can be added.

In General, ovens are all different, my "pre-war" does not show the inside temperature and baking time I have different (1 – 1,2 – 1,5 hours), depending on how I lowered the fire. Enjoy all appetite and I can thank my mother for the recipe of this wonderful cake!
