Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

¼ cup warm water
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
¾ cup lukewarm milk
¼ cup white sugar
¼ cup vegetable shortening (such as Crisco®)
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour, or more as needed
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup butter, softened
1 egg
¼ cup milk
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon lemon extract
2 cups finely chopped walnuts

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.

Time 6h

Yield 1 Very large spiral loaf

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 cup milk, scalded
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/4 lb butter, melted
1 1/2 cups water
2 packages yeast
1/2 cup water (warm)
3 eggs
9 cups flour, approximate
2 lbs ground walnuts
2 cups milk, scalded
1/4 cup butter
2 1/2 cups sugar
4 teaspoons cinnamon
4 teaspoons vanilla
3 beaten eggs

Steps:

Dissolve yeast in 1/2 cup warm water, then mix remaining ingredients as you would for bread with about 9 cups flour (Do not add the flour all at once; 9 cups is approximate, as with all bread many things including temperature and humidity effect how much flour you need. Use enough to make a smooth pliable nonsticky dough); knead well.
Let rise 2 hours.
Mix filling ingredients together while milk is still warm.
Spread or roll dough on table top, making sure you have no holes.
Spread filling on top.
Roll up, then coil as a snake.
Let rise 2 hours in large greased roaster.
Bake 2 hours at 350°F.

Tips:

Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the dough come together smoothly and evenly.
If you don't have a stand mixer, you can knead the dough by hand. Just be sure to knead it for at least 10 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
Be careful not to overproof the dough. If it overproofs, it will be difficult to work with and the baked bread will be dense and heavy.
When baking the bread, be sure to preheat the oven to the correct temperature. This will help ensure that the bread bakes evenly and doesn't burn.
If you don't have a pastry brush, you can use a spoon to brush the egg wash onto the bread before baking.
Let the bread cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.

Conclusion:

Povitica is a delicious and festive bread that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich, nutty flavor and beautiful presentation, it is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special bread to bake, give povitica a try.
