Gubana
An ancient, celebratory sweet bread native to the Natisone Valleys in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, close to the Slovenian border. Gubana consists of a rich, tender leavened dough (or a light laminated pastry) wrapped meticulously around an abundant, heavy filling of crushed walnuts, pine nuts, plump raisins, dried figs, and Amaretto liqueur, all wound into a magnificent signature snail-like spiral shape.
