This is Cesnica that we in Serbia make for Christmas. Housewives make Cesnica. Housewives put in Cesnica money-coin and those who finde in his piece of bread coin keep it because it is a sign of his luck in that year.For this bread-Cesnica we need kilogram of flour to griddle. Add a piece of fat, salt and warm water to knead the dough. We make dough that is not too hard or too soft. Cover dough and let it to rest awhile. When it is risen put it on desktop and add a little flour and a little more interfere dough. One part of the dough set apart for decorating. Put coin and put the dough into the pan. Decorate. We leave it a little more until it rise in the pan-15 minutes. When Cesnica is baked coat Cesnica with honey. According to old custom we break it to pieces with fingers not with a knife.
For Christmas in Serbia we welcome each other with the words:HRISTOS SE RODI!
And the reply is:
VAISTINU SE RODI!
That's a great New Years tradition. Just becareful if you find the hidden coin.
