Bejgli

Hi Lovelies!

My brain is kinda confused lately. It cannot decide whether it wants to kill or to heal 🤣 I started watching House MD (again), right after finishing How To Get Away With Murder. So yeah, see, confused brain 😁😉😁😉

Before, it couldn’t differentiate between ambulance sirene or police car sirene. Yep, New Amsterdam vs Rookie Blue 😁😁😁😁

Not so smart this brain of mine. Except when it comes to baking and cooking 😁 Hardly fails me. It truly knows how to make my tummy happy 🤪😁🤪😁

So back to recipe sharing it is, with sweet rolls from Hungary, called Bejgli 😍

2 c walnut meal
2 tsp grated mandarin peel
1/3 c sugar
1 tbsp orange juice
1/4 c water
1 handful raisins

1 c poppy seeds meal
2 tsp grated mandarin peel
Freshly squeezed mandarin juice (1 mandarin)
1/2 c raw whipped honey
Pitted sour cherry in syrup

4 c flour
1/4 c sugar
2 tsp instant yeast
A pinch of salt
3 yolks
1/2 c milk
1 c unsalted butter
1/3 c sour cream

Mix all ingredients for walnut filling in a pan, cook to combine well, take off from heat, stir in raisins. Set to side to cool to room temperature.

Mix all ingredients for poppy seed filling in a pan, cook to combine well, set aside to cool to room temperature.

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl, make a well in center. Pour in milk and add in yolks, stir to combine. Add in butter and knead to a nice dough.

Divide dough into two equal portions.

Roll each portion to a rectangular. Spread poppy seed to one while walnut to other. Roll like you would jelly roll, and not too tight.

Place rolls on parchment lined pan, poke holes all over and brush with egg whites.

Bake rolls on preheated 350 for 45-60 minutes.

Enjoy!
