"Nut roll is an Eastern European pastry of yeast bread with one or more fillings. It is also known as: Potica (also known as gubana, guban'ca, or povitica, depending on the region) in Slovenian; Orechovnik in Slovak; Makowiec in Polish; Povitica, Orehnjača (walnut variant), or Makovnjača (poppyseed variant), or strudla (trans. strudel) in Croatian; Štrudla in Serbian; [1] and bejgli in Hungarian. Over time, it has been adopted by most of Eastern Europe, and has subsequently changed into regional varieties of the same dessert. It is traditionally made to share at weddings, for Easter and Christmas, and on other celebrations or holidays."
One of the benefits of a large house that we really can't afford is having a large work area in the kitchen. This has allowed Helen to return to her roots (at least gastronomically speaking) and produce a large batch of Povitica before Christmas.
