Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together the warm water, ½ teaspoon of sugar, and yeast. Set aside for 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.
- In a medium saucepan, heat the milk to just below boiling (about 3-5 minutes), stirring occasionally. Then set it aside to cool.
- After the warm milk has cooled, whisk in the melted butter, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and salt.
- Next, add the large egg, vanilla, and yeast mixture to the milk and whisk together.
- In the large bowl of a freestanding mixer with a dough hook, add the flour. Then, pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the flour and mix with the dough hook until it forms a smooth ball of dough.
- Place the dough on a lightly floured surface, shaping it into a ball. After that, transfer it to a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a warm tea towel. Allow it to rise for 1 hour and 30 minutes.
- While the dough is rising, make the filling. In a bowl of a food processor or blender, add the milk and butter and pulse together until well-mixed. Next, add the walnuts, sugar, salt, and cinnamon and pulse together until you combine everything.
- Then, add the vanilla and egg yolk and pulse until the filling is well combined. Keep the mixture at room temperature until you are ready to spread it onto the dough.
- Spray a 9x5 loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and set it aside. Roll out the dough to roughly 20” x 8” in size. Ensure the dough isn't too thin so you can add the filling and roll it without issue.
- Spread the filling over the rolled-out dough. Ensure a 1/2-inch border along the edges of the dough to prevent the filling from squeezing out as you roll it up.
- Roll the long side of the dough as tightly as possible, as if creating a rope.
- Gently stretch out the rope so that it fits in your greased loaf pan in an S shape. Then, cover the loaf pan with a warm, damp towel and let it sit in a warm place for 15 minutes. Simultaneously, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius).
- Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius), then lower the oven temperature to 300 degrees Fahrenheit (149 degrees Celsius). Bake for another 45 minutes.
- After 30 minutes of cooking (15 at 350 and 15 at 300 Fahrenheit; 177 and 149 Celsius), if the loaf starts to turn brown, cover it with aluminum foil for the remainder of the baking time.
- Remove the pan from the oven and allow it to cool for 30 minutes. You can tap it, and it should sound hollow, indicating it’s done.
- Finally, slice and enjoy!

Notes
- Storage Info:
- Povitica Bread can be stored at room temperature, wrapped in plastic or aluminum foil, for up to 3-5 days. For longer storage, it freezes well; just wrap it tightly and freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw, leave it at room temperature or in the refrigerator overnight. You can reheat Povitica by wrapping it in foil and warming it in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius) for about 10-15 minutes, ensuring it regains its softness and warmth.
