Recipe Introduction


This is a quick version of povitica and is one of my favorite recipes. The traditional method of making povitica takes hours, a special touch, and lots of space. This is quick, easy, and great on a Christmas morning. If you double the recipe, you can give some away or just enjoy twice as much!

Dough





List of Ingredients



• 2 envelopes dry yeast
  
• 2 tbl sugar
  
• 1/4 cup warm water
  
• 3 large egg yolks
  
• 1/4 tsp salt
  
• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter, melted and cooled
  
• 1/2 cup milk, scalded and cooled
  
• 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour
  






Instructions



1. Sprinkle yeast and sugar over warm water in large bowl; stir to dissolve. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Mix in yolks and salt. Blend in butter, milk, and then flour. Beat mixture with spoon until smooth, about 2 minutes (dough will be soft). Cover and refrigerate at least 8 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead.)
