Podkovy

For Saint Stephen's Feast day today I made Podkovy, or St. Stephen's horseshoes. The recipe was taken from A Continual Feast by Evelyn Birge Vitz and can be found here. The dough for this recipe produces a flaky light pastry. I really liked how the recipe turned out. I will make this recipe again. I tried both fillings, the nut, brown sugar and citrus and also the apricot filling. Both fillings are tasty but the main bread is really excellent on its own.
