Yugoslavian Potica Bread image

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: This recipe uses 1/2 a recipe of Recipe #307801, which is what I am unable to list in the ingredient list. I hope this is not too confusing, but it was the only way Zaar would let me do it. From "Festive Breads from your Food Processor", Good Food Magazine, December 1986.

The filling was too runny and leaked out of the bread while it was baking.

This recipe is a waste of time. The bread was dry and flavorless.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bread didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected.

I accidentally added too much salt to the dough, but the bread still turned out okay.

The dough was a bit difficult to work with, but the end result was worth it.

I'm not a huge fan of potica, but this recipe changed my mind. It's so light and fluffy, and the filling is perfectly balanced.
