One serving has 551 kcal and 11 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of manganese (73%), copper (62%), thiamin (49%), selenium (35%), riboflavin (35%) and folate (33%). Ready in 140 minutes.
- Preparation: 90 min
- Cooking: 50 min
- Makes: 1 serving (138 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten, honey, nut
Ingredients
- 40 g Flour, all-purpose
- 15 g Milk, whole
- 10 g Butter, unsalted
- 12 g Sugar
- 10 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 1 g Yeast, active dry
- 0.3 g Salt
- 30 g Walnuts
- 10 g Honey
- 10 g Cream, heavy
Method
- Warm the milk, dissolve the yeast and a little of the sugar in it, and let stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
- Mix in the flour, remaining sugar, salt, melted butter and egg to a soft dough; knead for 8-10 minutes, then cover and let rise for 1 hour. Makes 1 of about 16 slices of a whole potica; multiply the recipe by 16 for a full rolled loaf.
- Meanwhile, finely grind the walnuts and mix with the honey and cream to a spreadable paste.
- Roll the risen dough out into a large thin rectangle, spread the walnut filling evenly over it, and roll up tightly from one long edge like a jelly roll.
- Place seam-down in a greased loaf or bundt tin, curling it to fit if needed, and let it prove for 30-40 minutes.
- Bake at 170 C (340 F) for 45-50 minutes until deep golden, tenting with foil if the top browns too fast; cool before slicing.
