Diós Beigli 500g - Hungarian Walnut Roll

Diós beigli is a traditional Hungarian walnut roll filled with a delightful combination of ground walnuts, juicy golden raisins, and candied orange peel.

You can enjoy this cake on its own or serve it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.

Beigli rolls are popular throughout Central Europe, especially during festive occasions. They are traditionally served as dessert during Christmas dinner and are also enjoyed for Easter celebrations.

The poppy seed (mákos) and walnut (diós) bejgli are typically eaten on New Year's Day, as consuming poppy seeds is thought to bring good luck and prosperity, while walnuts are believed to ward off evil.

How is it made?

The diós bejgli recipe begins with rolling out a yeast dough, which is generously filled with a sweet mixture of freshly ground walnuts, dried fruits, and candied fruit. The filled pastry is then tightly rolled into a cylinder and brushed with egg yolk, giving it a characteristic marbled, golden crust. It is baked until it becomes deliciously soft and tender on the inside.
