Lovely! (and the rainbow’s nice too.)

Are you Slovene?

Wallyeats, I assume you ask because of the reference to Poteca? I’m not Slovene, but the tradition comes from my mother-in-law whose relatives are probably from that area. I asked her about the bread and she said that she always bought it at the baker (she grew up in Racine, Wisconsin) and when she moved to CA decided to find a recipe and make it herself. Somehow DH and I inherited the tradition. The Poteca we make is a lightly sweetened yeast dough that get’s rolled out, filled with a walnut honey mixture, rolled into a horseshoe shape, and baked. It’s really very good and pretty easy to make.

Here’s the uneaten half loaf.
