My grandmother was Croatian and would make the most amazing rolled pastry made with pogacha bread (that much I remember) with an a nut (walnuts, I think) and chocolate filling.  No one in the family can remember what it was called and mom can't find the recipe. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

For instance, what is pogacha bread?

Pogacha is a white bread claimed by Serbians, Croatians and Macedonians. It is similar to Italian Vienna bread in texture and flavor and there are as many recipes for it as there are shapes
this is a basic one 

INGREDIENTS

  • • 1 cup milk
  • • 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
  • • 1 package active dry yeast
  • • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • • 5 cups all-purpose flour plus additional for shaping
  • • 1 cup sour cream
  • • 5 tablespoons vegetable or canola oil
  • • 1 large egg, slightly beaten
  • • 1 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS

  • 1

    Preparation:

  • 2

    1. Scald milk and add butter. Allow to cool to lukewarm. Add yeast and sugar and stir until dissolved.

  • 3

    2. Measure 5 cups flour into work bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Add milk-yeast mixture, sour cream, oil, egg and salt. Mix well.

  • 4

    3. Switch to dough hook and knead on medium-low for about 5 minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic. Turn out into a large greased bowl. Flip dough over to grease both sides, cover and let rise until doubled.

  • 5

    4. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Punch down dough and place in a 10-inch round greased pan with high sides (about 3 inches) or handshape into a 10-inch round and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  • 6

    5. Using a sharp knife, slash top of dough three times. Some make an “X” on top. Bake about 1 hour or until instant-read thermometer registers 190 degrees. Remove from oven and place on cooling rack.

Hi, Tina, and welcome to the Forum ~
 
I'll do a little checking when I can, but it looks like Ahron hit the nail on the head with his recipe - it looks delicious!

In my browsing of Serbian breads over the past 36 hours I found this...
Not quite what you describe but interesting nevertheless...


And I found the one Ahron suggests as well - looks so yummy - I will be in the kitchen bright and early tomorrow.
