Potica (Slovenian Sweet Bread)

Oh my! This was delicious. It is a little labor intensive, but if you have the time to make it, it is worth it. I thought I had just bought a wonderful pastry from a top notch bakery. I froze one of the rolls and it was just as good as the first one we ate. Just a few seconds in the microwave made it taste like fresh baked. Rolling the dough to the dimensions and thinness as specified makes lots of layers of wonderful pastry. The filling of dates and egg whites works beautifully. The dates are dispersed from being mixed into the beaten egg whites and are just perfect as the filling. I could just continue to rave about this.
