Povitica Bread

Hey, Norm !

Now's the time to go pick up your povitica....and anyone else who wants to experience this amazingly tasty treat at a great price.

I'm just going to order two of the English Walnut ones.  That's MY personal favorite.



This ad was included in my coupon pack in the Sunday paper.

Now that I live in Kansas City, I can drive down I-35 for about 45 blocks and pick it up any time. I like the English Walnut too. It was the only kind I ever knew as a kid. Strawberry Hill are the only ones I know who make it with different flavors. I used to make it with pecans. Now that was a treat. My uncle used to give big bags of pecans for Christmas. Now days I'd have to float a loan to get than many pecans.

No way am I going to try to make my own....

They do it so well ~ and for one time a year I don't mind the price, really.

Here is a fast motion video of a commercial bakery making the sweet bread.

Nice video.

I still cannot imagine the little old ladies who still roll theirs by hand.....

Electric sheeter machines are like cheating, aren't they? LOL

I still can't figure out how they got the dough to roll up with just a flick of the sheet.

My mom learned the recipe by watching a neighbor make it and copy down the ingredients. She said she put a sheet on the kitchen table and rolled the dough out to cover the table. (Kitchen tables were smaller back then though) I think it takes longer than just a flick of the sheet. The film is speeded up so it just looks easier.
