Walnut potica festive time is here.

Potica, synonym for festive events, is a spiral rolled Slovenian festive cake. The recipe for potica cake is passing from one generation to another. Nut bread baking is a challenge for all of us. We need to use our own creativity and try to make potica many times before we can proudly say: “This is potica I was looking for!”

There are many potica bread varieties following the seasons (potica with carob, cracklings, honey, tarragon, chives, cottage cheese, poppy seeds, carrots, raisins, dried fruit, Carniolan sausage, walnuts).

4 whole eggs

4 egg yolks

1 vanilla sugar

Mix all the ingredients together and leave a dough for 2 hours in the fridge.

After 2 hours, take the dough out from the fridge and divide it into 2 parts. Knead the dough. Then spread the filling on both parts, add raisins soaked in rum and roll the dough. With a toothpick make some holes on the dough. Bake it for 1 hour on 180 degrees.
