The Hirshon Hungarian Poppy Seed And Walnut Beigli 🇭🇺..
Oh, Ashley — now that’s a showstopper! 😍🇭🇺 Hungarian Beigli (bejgli) is a traditional Christmas and Easter pastry roll — rich, buttery yeast dough filled with either sweet walnut (diós) or poppy seed (mákos) filling.
It’s aromatic, soft inside, and beautifully glossy outside, with those classic crackled lines on top. Let’s make the Hirshon-style Hungarian Poppy Seed and Walnut Beigli, step by step! 🥮✨
