Potica is a traditional Slovenian pastry that dates back to at least the 16th century. Its name comes from the Slovenian verb poviti, meaning “to wrap” or “to envelop”—a perfect description of this delicious rolled pastry. Potica is often filled with sweet or savory ingredients like walnuts, tarragon, or poppy seeds.
So how did potica become a beloved tradition at the St. Peter bake sale?
Long-time parishioner Ann Brown brought her family’s potica recipe with her when she immigrated to the United States. She has been leading the potica baking effort at St. Peter for several decades. Her dedication—and her incredible baking—have made potica a favorite treat, with community members lining up to get their hands on a loaf!
In fact, demand has grown so much that we now offer pre-order forms to help ensure everyone gets a taste of this cherished tradition.
Love to bake? Whether you're a seasoned pro, a beginner, or just enjoy making sweet treats, we’d love your help! We're always looking for volunteers to contribute baked goods for our popular community bake sales.
These events are a beloved tradition, and the more goodies we have, the better we can fundraise and satisfy sweet tooths all around!
If you're interested in baking—or even just lending a hand—please reach out to the parish office at 419-524-2572.
