This is going to be really vague, so I apologize in advance.
I saw a baked good in a catalog. Inadvertently, I threw the catalog away, and I have no idea what catalog it was.
The item had the basic shape of a loaf of bread. But they showed it in slices, and the individual slices were very holey. It looked as if three thin sheets of dough were rolled very very loosely so that the layers had wide gaps, then the three rolls were set side-by-side into a bread pan so that they formed a single unit as they baked.
It came in two flavors: cream cheese and something walnut.
Next possibility: palmiers, aka elephant ears. In some bakeries, I’ve seen them as large as my hand, which would fit the “loaf of bread” size descriptor.
I’ve had homemade Polish Makowiec in a Midwest US style as both a poppy seed roll sweet bread and a walnut roll sweet bread. It was twinned up, the dough and recipe divided with their specific fillings.
My mom and aunt make poppyseed and nut poticia every year for Easter, as sort of a throwback to their Slovak roots. Looks like this bakery is Hungarian, Polish, Slovenian AND Slovak
Theirs does not look like the links you or elfkin posted, tho. Theirs looks like what devilsknew posted.
Too bad you’re so “far out of town,” away from Cleveland. There’s a local bakery here that sells poticia right at Giant Eagle and it tastes just like grandma’s!
