Mákos Bejgli 500g - Hungarian Poppy Seed Roll

Mákos bejgli is a Hungarian poppy seed roll. This authentic cake is a traditional pastry with a moreish filling of ground poppy seeds and sweet spices. Enjoy the cake on its own, or serve it with a scoop of ice cream for an indulgent gourmet treat.

Beigli rolls are popular across Central Europe, especially during festive periods; they are traditionally served as Christmas pudding and are also used to celebrate Easter. Mákos and diós bejgli are also enjoyed on New Year's Day, as eating poppy seeds is believed to bring good fortune and prosperity, while walnuts are said to keep away any evil.

How is it made?

The mákos bejgli recipe is made by rolling out a dough, which is then generously layered with a sweet blend of freshly ground poppy seeds and a selection of dried fruit. The filled pastry is tightly rolled into a cylinder and gently brushed with egg yolk to create its characteristic marbled, golden crust while it is baked until deliciously soft and tender on the inside.
