God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

Hope is being able to see that there is light despite all of the darkness.

Hi.  This sounds like it might be what you're thinking of, but we always
called it Placek.
Combine water, sugar, 1 Tbs flour and yeast and leave to rise.  Warm butter
and milk in small pot.  Beat eggs, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup flour, salt and
orange flavoring. Add the milk mixture and the yeast mixture from above.
Add 2 more cups of flour; beat well. Add another 4-5 cups of flour, a cup
of raisins, and beat it some more Turn into a large bowl and cover and let
rise for about an hour. Knead and cut into 4 parts: put each into a loaf
pan.  Let rise one more hour (at halfway, brush with slightly beaten egg
white, and sprinkle with crumb mixture (below)). Bake at 350 F for 35
minutes.
Crumb mixture: Mix all ingredients.
This came from my Great-Grandma and has been enjoyed for several years in
our Polish family.
