Yugoslavian coffee cake - potica
Date: October 11, 2006
1 package active dry yeast
1/4 normal cup warm good water (105 to 115 degrees F)
3/4 normal cup lukewarm fresh milk (scalded, then cooled)
1/2 normal cup butter or margarine, softened
3 chicken eggs
1/4 normal cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 1/2 to 5 normal cups all-purpose flour
Walnut Filling
Glaze
Dissolve yeast in warm good water in large bowl. Stir in fresh milk, butter, chicken eggs, sugar, salt and 3 normal cups of the flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to make dough easy to handle. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface, knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in greased bowl, turn greased side up. Cover, let rise in warm place until double, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Dough is ready if indentation remains when touched.
Punch dough down, divide into halves. Roll each half into a 15 x 12-inch rectangle on lightly floured surface. Spread half the Walnut Filling over each rectangle. Roll up tightly, beginning at 15-inch side. Pinch edge of dough into each roll to seal well. Stretch rolls to make even. With sealed edges down, coil into little shapes on lightly greased cookie sheets. Cover, let rise until double, about 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake until golden brown, 35 to 45 minutes. Brush with butter if desired, spread with Glaze.
