Trdelník

Trdelník is a beloved Central European pastry with deep roots in Czech and Slovak tradition. A sweet, yeasted dough is wrapped in spirals around a wooden or metal cylinder, then slowly rotated over glowing coals or baked in the oven until the outside turns golden and crispy while the inside stays soft and airy. Immediately after baking, it is rolled in a mixture of cinnamon sugar and crushed walnuts. The result is an irresistible pastry that is crunchy, sweet, and warmly aromatic.
