Add 1 tbsp of sugar to 1 cup of milk and warm it up in the microwave for about a minute.

Let the milk cool to around 38 to 40 degrees Celsius to proof the yeast.

Add about 1 tablespoon of active dry yeast to the milk and stir, then cover and let sit for about 15 minutes.

In a medium-sized pot, add 4 cups of milk and set aside for later heating.

Measure out 1/2 cup of rice and 1/2 cup of sugar and have them ready to add later.

After 15 minutes, check the yeast mixture, which should be frothy.

In a stand mixer bowl, add approximately 2 1/2 cups of flour and a pinch of salt.

Mix on low speed with a dough hook for about 4-5 minutes until a sticky dough forms.

Add about 1 tsp of oil to the dough mixture and continue mixing.

Flour the work surface and turn the dough out, working it by hand for 20-30 seconds to form a ball.

Cover the dough with a towel and place it in a warm area to rise.

Cook the rice in the milk mixture on the stove, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Once the milk starts to boil, add the 1/2 cup of rice and 1/2 cup of sugar, and continue to stir.

Cook until the mixture thickens and the rice is tender, then remove from heat.

Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to about 13-14 inches in diameter.

Lightly grease an 11-inch tart pan with butter and place the rolled-out dough into the pan, stretching it to fit.

Trim the excess dough from the edges using a rolling pin or knife, and dock the dough with holes to prevent air bubbles.

Add 1-2 tablespoons of advocaat to the rice mixture for flavor, if desired.

Separate 3 eggs into yolks and whites, placing them in two different bowls.
