Croatian Wine Bread
Carol Witek, Janesville
1 cup scalded milk
1 cup shortening
3 eggs
1 Tbsp. yeast
3 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. salt
4 cups flour |
Mix all. Refrigerate for one hour. Roll dough out into a rectangle and put on a sheet pan or cookie sheet before putting filling in. Put filling down the center 1/3 of the pan (the long way) and fold sides over. Bake at 375 degrees for 20–30 minutes. For frosting, I use cream cheese, butter, almond and vanilla extract, powdered sugar, and half & half to desired consistency. Spread on rolls while they are warm.
