Potica Making
We have recently tried our hand at making potica (pronounced pah-teet-za), a Serbian sweet bread. Our mom grew up familiar with this delicious item, but was only able to eat it at the homes of “rich people,� due to its high cost. We never knew it was possible to make this at home, so when a friend gave us the recipe (and pictorial instructions), we jumped on to this opportunity.
Here is the table prepared with a fitted flour-smeared sheet and with older sheets all around it on the floor. In the middle of the table is the potica dough.
This is the filling cooking on the stove.
We pull the dough slowly out farther and farther.
The dough is pulled far enough when it hangs down on all sides (this can be used to make cinnamon rolls, which no one is hungry enough to eat after having potica).
Then the dough is sprinkled with cinnamon
After that, the filling is spread out (or rather, spooned out), trying as hard as possible to cover every inch of the dough.
Cut the excess dough off the sides of the table
Roll up the dough into a long long log.
All finished! Then this is cut into bread-pan-sized pieces, baked, and sliced. Mmmm!

Hi, Valine family!!!
I am Tricia's sister. :)
I am updating the Hope Chest website (http://www.hopechestmagazine.com) and am linking your website to the Related Links page.
Your blogs are so wonderful...but there are not too many people commenting on them I see. You need to cross post them to LiveJournal.com which has a large community of conservative girls who would LOVE this sort of thing!!!!
Blessings,
Mary Beth
