Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough until smooth, about 5 minutes.

Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.

Prepare the filling by grinding walnuts and mixing with sugar.

Roll out the risen dough into a rectangle on a floured surface.

Spread the walnut filling evenly over the dough.

Roll the dough tightly into a log, pinching the seams to seal.

Place the log in a greased baking dish, cover, and let rise for another 30 minutes.

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Bake the potica for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown.
