🇭🇺 Hungary recipe
Beigli
Beigli is the traditional Hungarian holiday pastry that graces every Christmas and Easter table. A buttery yeast-enriched dough is rolled thin and spread with a thick, aromatic filling of either finely ground walnuts or poppy seeds, then rolled into a tight log, brushed with egg wash, and baked until golden. When sliced, it reveals a beautiful spiral of dark filling encased in tender pastry.
