Bread Baking Babes go a little nuts

Or not.

Itโ€™s really up to the Babe.

Some did walnuts but one did pecans.

Coffee was usedโ€ฆ or not. Same with chocolate.

There were musings about using spinach and feta but no one did it โ€“ yet.

Thereโ€™s a photo and a hint of blueberry jam and cream cheese.

There is almost universal agreement that, while this is a time-consuming bread to make, and, maybe, a little challenging, every bite makes it worthwhile.

I say โ€˜almost universalโ€™ because the only thing the Babes agree on is that they never agree on everything.

Thatโ€™s what makes life interesting.

This interesting bread, Potica or Povitica, is Slovenian. They say that anyone who can make this qualifies as a โ€˜good cookโ€™.

Kelly, of A Messy Kitchen, and our host kitchen for this month, thinks all the Babes qualify.

So do I.

You really need to have a look at their ingenious efforts in getting this thinly rolled, filled, wrapped, wonderful bread made.

If you want to try this lovely, flavorful bread, meander over toย A Messy Kitchen. Youโ€™ll find the recipe, easy instructions, and helpful hintsโ€ฆ maybe even a video.

In the meantime, have a look at what the Babes did this monthโ€ฆ. Try not to drool on your computer.

  1. Wow we did good! I really wish Iโ€™d added dark chocolate to my poppyseeds but yes spinach is next on my list in an 8 inch round cake pan. Thanks for putting us all together!

  2. Yes, a round cake pan will definitely be in order! Iโ€™m thinking of trying hazelnuts and dates next time (sort of along the lines of SAVEURโ€™s hazelnut and fig povitica recipe) and maybe adding some lemon zest to the dough. The possibilties really are endless, arenโ€™t they?

    Echoing thanks to Katie for swirling all the breads together onto the same page. (Iโ€™m having difficulty finding the reply window in both firefox and chrome. But I can reply to someone elseโ€™s comment in Chrome. Is it my set up? Have I done something to firefox to make the comment area disappear??)

    • Maybe dates and goat cheese? Just a thoughโ€ฆ. and hazelnuts for texture.
      Donโ€™t get me started on browser issuesโ€ฆ.

      • Dates and goat cheese and hazelnuts sounds perfect!

        Sigh. I know what you mean about browser issues. I wish the coding geniuses would get a grip and stop changing things every few seconds simply to create make-work projects. (Had to fire up Chrome again to replyโ€ฆ.)

  3. I dearly love a good spanokopita and really think this would be easy than dealing with layers of phyllo! If I try it, I will do a super long roll and wind it up snail style like a Greek cheese pie. Yum.
