Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 packet (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
- 2 cups milk, warmed to lukewarm
- ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups finely chopped walnuts
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup cocoa powder (optional)
- ½ cup additional sugar for filling
Instructions:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm milk and yeast. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it’s frothy.
- Add the melted butter, sugar, and salt to the yeast mixture. Mix well.
- Stir in the eggs, and then gradually add the flour until the dough forms. Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about an hour or until it doubles in size.
- While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, mix the chopped walnuts, sugar, cocoa powder (if using), and vanilla extract. Set aside.
- After the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/4 inch thick. Spread the walnut filling evenly over the dough.
- Carefully roll the dough into a log, pinch the edges to seal, and place it seam-side down in a greased loaf pan.
- Cover the pan and let the dough rise again for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and bake the povitica for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice and enjoy!
