This past week I've noticed a lot of hoopla about this intriguing bread called "povitica." I wanted to see for myself what all the buzz was about so I decided to give it a try. Apparently it is the "daring bakers challenge" this month. I've also never heard of the daring baker but I thought, Hey! I want to be a daring baker! I love a good challenge. And this bread is just that =). It may actually be more time consuming than a challenge. It was a wonderful bread though, therefore worth the time and effort. It was reminiscent of a cinnamon roll or sticky bun with much more of a nutty flavor. It also brought memories of my first taste of Baklava. It was tender and delicious! I did make a few of my own changes to the recipe to suit my own personal taste. I added more cinnamon and cocoa, and I replaced half the granulated sugar with light-brown sugar. I also replaced the coffee topping with an egg wash. Go ahead be a daring baker and try this recipe out for yourself! Follow this link for the recipe.
