I’ve been cleaning out our freezer, hopeful for an impending move. I found a small ball of potica dough left over from the holiday baking extravaganza,that at the time I was sure I would use up quickly. Well, I finally pulled it out last night to thaw. When I pulled it out last night, I planned to make some traditional potica filling and cook it up. This morning, I just didn’t feel like messing with the traditional walnut filling, so I rolled it out and figured I’d try cinnamon rolls with it. I did put some nuts on the bottom of the pie plate, so it’s almost like potica, almost but not really at all, ha! They turned out quite delightful and were yummy with a cup of coffee. The ball of dough I had made less about 5 very small rolls, I’m not sure why I saved such a small piece to begin with, except that I just have a very hard time throwing food away.
Yesterday, I cooked up all the chicken bones I had been saving as well and will be canning that stock up later today. If time permits, I’m going to work on some beef stock from the bones in the freezer as well today.
