Pinca (also sirnica or pinza) is a traditional Dalmatian Istrian and Bay of Kotor Easter sweet roll. It is also popular in the Goriška region of Slovenia the Slovenian Littoral western Croatia and in parts of the Trieste and Gorizia provinces of Italy. It takes the form of a sweet bread loaf with the sign of a cross which is carved in with a knife before baking on the upper side. Pinca is eaten to celebrate the end of Lent because it contains many eggs.
