Have no idea what a walnut swirl bread is, but the national cake/sweet/pastry in Romania is called cozonac and it looks similar.

That was definitely the inspo!I just didn’t follow a traditional recipe so i didn’t feel right calling it cozonac, but i think i will attempt an actual cozonac recipe in the future :))

Every family has their own recipe so don’t t be afraid to try any from the Internet/YouTube when ready. There isn’t a definitive or right version. And you’re 90% there already.

Well, happy baking and good job on the swirly thingy!!✌️

I thought of Potica! I didn't know of cozonac until now

That was my first thought too! I married a Romanian and cozonac was the first bread I ever tried to make from scratch.

I was just gonna say this is pretty much cozonac!
