Gubana

Just 4 u

1 Recipe strudel pastry
1 Cup walnuts, chopped roughly
1/2 Cup hazelnuts, chopped roughly
Zest of 1 lemon
Zest of 1 orange
1/4 Cup candied citron
1/4 Cup semi−sweet chocolate pieces, roughly chopped
1/4 Cup currants, soaked 1 hour in 1/2 Cup Verduzzo Wine
2 eggs separated
yolks beaten until stiff
1/4 Cup sugar, plus 3 Tbls.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees and grease a cookie sheet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine walnuts, hazelnuts, lemon zest, orange zest,
candied citron, chocolate pieces, currants, soaking liquid and stir to
combine.
Add egg whites and 1/4 cup sugar and fold together. Roll pastry out
to a 10 by 16−inch rectangle and position the longest side parallel to the
work surface edge. Spoon the filling over the pastry evenly, leaving 2
inches uncovered at the north end. Roll the pastry up like a jelly roll from
south to north so it appears to be a thick pipe. Make a circle of the pipe
by attaching the two open ends like a wreath. Brush with beaten eggs yolks
and sprinkle with remaining sugar. Place on cookie sheet and bake 50
minutes. Allow to cool before cutting.
