POVITICA
This bread is labor intensive, but SO worth the effort. This recipe has been passed down for generations in my family. It is a little different from the others I've seen on the internet. It is so good and a Christmas Morning tradition. I'm glad to say my father taught me and I am teaching my daughter.

Steps:
- 1. TO MAKE THE FILLING: HEAT BUTTER TILL GOLDEN BROWN. WATCH CAREFULLY AS IT WILL BURN QUICKLY AS IT STARTS TO TURN. ADD WALNUTS STIRRING CONSTANTLY. WHEN THOUROUGHLY WARMED ADD CANNED MILK STIRRING TILL COMES TO A BOIL ON LOW HEAT.
- 2. ADD 2 1/2 CUPS SUGAR, 2 TEASPOONS CINNAMON, CONTINUALLY STIRRING AND BOIL FOR 20 MINUTES. BEAT 4 EGGS AND POUR SLOWLY INTO MIXTURE. STIR CONSTANTLY AND BOIL 10 MINUTES MORE. THIS SCORCHES EASILY, SO HEAT MAY NOT BE HIGH. COOL TO ROOM TEMP BEFORE SPREADING ON BREAD.
- 3. BREAD DOUGH: COMBINE 7 cups FLOUR,SUGAR AND SALT .ADD TO MILK HEATED LUKEWARM. PUT YEAST IN ½ CUP WARM WATER AND LET STAND TIL FOAM BEGINS TO FORM. POUR INTO MIXTURE AND MIX WELL. BEAT TO COMBINE WITH DOUGH. ADD BEATEN EGGS, MELT BUTTER BUT DON'T OVERHEAT: ADD TO DOUGH AND KNEAD WELL. ADD THE REST OF THE FLOUR, DOUGH WILL BE SOMEWHAT SOFTER THAN BREAD DOUGH. LET IT RISE UNTIL DOUBLED.
- 4. ROLL OUT SECTIONS OF DOUGH VERY THIN (KEEP BREAD OUT OF DRAFTS AND WARM WHILE STRETCHING IT) IT HELPS TO ROLL OUT ON PATTERNED TABLECLOTH, WHEN YOU CAN SEE THE PATTERN IT IS THIN ENOUGH. SPREAD FILLING ON DOUGH NOT TOO THICK. ROLL ON LONG EDGE AND COIL INTO GREASED PAN.
- 5. BAKE 9 INCH SQUARE LOAVES 40 MINUTES AT 350 DEGREES. BEAT 1 EGG WITH 1 TBLS WATER AND BRUSH ON BEFORE BAKING FOR NICE GOLDEN COLOR.

Steps:
- Combine warm water and yeast together in a large bowl. Let stand until yeast softens and begins to form a creamy foam, about 5 minutes.
- Stir 3/4 cup lukewarm milk, white sugar, shortening, 1 egg, and salt into yeast mixture. Mix flour into yeast mixture until a soft, easy to handle dough forms.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and let stand for 10 minutes. Knead dough until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. Form dough into a ball.
- Place dough in a large, lightly-oiled bowl and turn to coat. Cover bowl with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in volume, or until a hole remains when your finger is pressed deeply into the dough, about 2 hours.
- Punch down dough and turn onto a lightly floured surface. Shape into ball and let dough rest for 15 minutes.
- Beat brown sugar, butter, and 1 egg together in a bowl until creamy. Add 1/4 cup milk, vanilla extract, and lemon extract; stir until smooth. Stir walnuts into the filling mixture until walnuts are completely incorporated.
- Roll dough on a large, floured cloth into a 20x30-inch rectangle. Spread walnut filling evenly over the top of the dough, spreading to the edges. Roll the rectangle up along the long edge like a jelly roll and pinch edges to seal. Coil the roll into a snail-shape.
- Grease a 9x13x2-inch baking sheet. Place shaped dough on the prepared sheet and let rise until an impression remains when the dough is gently pressed, about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).
- Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden brown, 40 to 45 minutes.

AMAZING TRADITIONAL CROATIAN POVITICA
This bread is very popular in the Kansas City area where most people buy it instead of making it. Since I'm moving from the area I looked up recipes for it and found this one from Phyllis at rootsweb.com I've modified it a bit and added more filling suggestions at the end. I'm posting this in reponse to a request on the boards.

- For the dough, tip the flour and sugar into the bowl of a freestanding mixer fitted with a dough hook. Add the salt into one side of the bowl and the yeast to the other.
- Tip the dough into a lightly oiled mixing bowl, cover with cling film and leave to rise until at least doubled in size – about one hour. Butter a 1kg (2lb) loaf tin.
- For the filling, place the butter and milk in a small pan and heat gently until the butter has melted. Remove from the heat.
- Place the walnuts, vanilla seeds, sugar and cocoa powder into the bowl of a food processor and blend to a sandy powder. Add the egg yolk, milk and butter mixture and pulse to combine.
- To assemble, spread a clean bed sheet over a kitchen table and dust with flour. Turn the risen dough out onto the sheet and roll out the dough into a large 50x30cm (20x12in) rectangle.
- Dust your hands with flour and ease them underneath the dough. Using the backs of your hands, stretch the dough out from the centre until very thin and translucent (you should be able to see the sheet through the dough).
- Taking care not to tear the dough, spread the filling over the dough until evenly covered. If the filling has been standing for a long time and is too thick, add a little warm milk to loosen it.
- Starting at the long edge of the dough, lift the sheet and gently roll the dough up tightly, like a Swiss roll.
- Carefully lift the dough and place one end in the bottom corner of the greased loaf tin. Ease the roll into the base of the tin to form a long ‘U’ shape, then double back laying the roll over the first ‘U’ shape to form a second ‘U’ shape on top.
