Easter is the most important Christian holiday. On this day, Christians celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the dead; on Good Friday, Jesus Christ was crucified, and on the third day after that, on Sunday, he rose from the dead. Easter it is a festival of joy and hope for Christians; they believe that with his resurrection, Jesus overcame physical and spiritual death and brought hope for everyone, and for Christians hope for resurrection after death. The holiday itself has its roots in Judaism, but also in old pagan customs, when they celebrated the arrival of spring. In Slovenia, they also call it a holiday I'm taking it. (vir: Wikipedia)

All ingredients and baking tools should be heated to room temperature. Add vanilla sugar and grated organic lemon peel to the dough for a better taste. Use only egg yolks for a lighter dough, whole eggs for a thicker dough. Knead the dough carefully and do not beat it. Spread the rolled dough with the filling, the amount of which should be proportional to the thickness of the dough. Juicy raisins soaked in lemon juice can be added to the filling for a better taste. We always roll the pot using a floured tablecloth. Just before baking, coat the potica with a beaten egg, to which a spoonful or two of milk is added. Bake the potica for 40 to 50 minutes. When it is tapped and it sounds hollow, it is definitely cooked.

- If you are going to dye the pire with artificial dyes, it is important to follow the manufacturer's instructions, i.e. what should be the ratio between dye and water. Supposedly, you can also strengthen the dye by making it dissolve in a cup of apple cider vinegar, which will ensure that the color adheres more strongly to the eggshell.
- Add to the water in which you will cook the eggs a spoonful of salt and vinegar. Leave the boiled eggs in the color for a longer time if you want richly colored pies. Turn the eggs while they soak in the dye.
