CESNICA Serbian Bread Recipe

This is a traditional Serbian Christmas morning bread that families eat for breakfast and make good wishes to each other. The lady of the house symbolically puts small piece of dogwood into Cesnica, for good health, grain of corn and wheat for fertility and one coin for fortune. The father of the house gathers his family around the table and divides the bread into pieces to everyone. Whoever gets something from Cesnica says what is it in there and makes a wish. This is a very interesting and joyful tradition.
