The slavsko zhito (Salava's wheat) is boiled, ground, or crushed into a paste, with equal amounts of sugar and nuts, then sprinkled with powdered sugar and a drop or two of vanilla extract. It is placed into a shallow oval dish and most people make a cross with almonds.

The priest who comes to bless the kloyivo and the bread pours wine over the wheat (center) and the bread is turned by fingers as he chants and later on cut into a cross. He then pours wine in the center of the bread. You can read more about Slava here
