A Croatian sweet bread, rolled paper-thin with walnut, cinnamon and brown sugar filling, baked into loaves with a swirled cross-section. A holiday tradition in Strawberry Hill.
Croatian immigrants settled Strawberry Hill, the bluff overlooking the Kansas and Missouri river confluence, from the 1880s through World War I. Strawberry Hill Baking Company has carried the povitica tradition since 1903. The neighbourhood remains home to Krizman's Sausage and other Slavic shops; povitica is now nationally known as a Kansas City holiday gift.
