What it is

Slovenia's festive roll: a yeasted dough swirled with walnut, honey and cinnamon filling, baked in a ring mould — the potica that blesses Easter and Christmas tables. Ingredients: flour, yeast, milk, butter, eggs, sugar (dough); filling: walnuts, honey, rum, cinnamon, lemon zest, cream; variations: tarragon (pehtranova, uniquely Slovenian), poppy seed, crackling (savory). Recipe: 1) Make a soft, rich dough; proof. 2) Roll paper-thin; spread the walnut filling. 3) Roll tightly; coil into a buttered potica mould (potičnik). 4) Proof again; bake until deep gold. Serve: sliced to show the spiral, with coffee — and judged by the thinness of its dough layers. Flavor: buttery, nutty, honeyed. History: potica appears in Slovenian print by the 16th century (Primož Trubar's era); the tarragon filling is protected as uniquely Slovenian. See also: Idrijski Žlikrofi, Kranjska Klobasa.
