Gužvara is a sweet, yeasted walnut roll, a classic Croatian treat. It features a rich dough, kneaded and allowed to rise twice, wrapped around a spiced filling of walnuts, butter, and brown sugar. After baking to a deep golden brown, it gets a final brush of milk and a dusting of powdered sugar. The two rises ensure a light, airy texture for the finished bread.
