Obwarzanek Krakowski Bread Recipe

Obwarzanek Krakowski Bread Recipe

Splice bagel is a type of bagel that people of Eastern Europe are making for many events, such as New Years Eve, Christmas, graduations, and birthday parties. In Slovenia, the Obwarzanek krakowski is a traditional pastry for New Years Eve, when the families gather and have dinner together, wishing the best to each other for the coming year. The bagels ‘listen’ to their stories and ‘save’ their secrets for centuries.

I was impressed when I baked my first Obwarzanek krakowski because I thought that it won’t be easy to prepare it. Luckily, I was wrong, so I want to share this recipe with everybody. I hope you will like it too.

1 egg
