"This is yeast bread that has a prune filling. I am not sure of the name in Czech. It rises overnight in refrigerator. It is a very old recipe that uses lard or butter but I listed butter. Libbie put lard in her recipe so I am guessing that is what she used. If any one knows what this is called in Czech please food.com mail me so I can add it. Another one of Libbie's recipes. this makes a HUGE amount i think you could do half and be ok im guessing these are like a christmas kinda bread but i dont know for sure it makes a soft fine grained bread"

Step 2

Mix flour, salt, sugar.

Step 3

Cut in butter or lard.

Step 4

Add milk, egg yolks, and yeast.

Step 5

Mix well and refrigerate overnight. the dough is VERY soft and you need it to be cold to even work with it ,it does rise in frig very well. I always use gluten in my baking .

Step 6

Divide into 4 pieces. use floured hands to do this dough is still soft. Roll out (EACH PIECE) 1/4 inch thick. Spread on filling and roll up like a jelly roll. I sprayed cookie sheet with pam and patted out with floured hands

Step 7

Place on a cookie sheet (It doesn't say to make a crescent shape but I think you do here).and you need LARGE COOKIE SHEET. as you see from pictures they rose and spread like crazy.

Step 8

Let rise 1 hour. (IT DID NOT TAKE AN HOUR FOR ME TO GET DOUBLED ).

Step 9

Bake 30 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Step 10

Ice with powdered sugar frosting, warm or cold.

Step 11

FILLING:. Beat 3 egg whites until stiff. Add 1 cup sugar. Fold in 1 cup cooked cut up prunes.
