Karen, unfortunately I think poticza is one bread that's a challenge when trying to gauge doneness by temperature. As you say, so much filling, and the layers of dough are so thin, I don't think a thermometer would give you a very good read. You could certainly try, though - take its temperature when you think it's done; and if it is, write it down, so next year you'll know. Good luck — PJH
