Tips for Perfect Bejgli
- Chilling the dough is key to getting a tender texture.
- Let the egg yolk and egg white layers dry properly before baking for the signature marbled crust.
- Don’t overfill! Too much filling can cause the rolls to crack.
- Fork pricking helps to prevent air pockets and bursting.
Variations
- Chocolate Bejgli: Add cocoa powder and chocolate chips to the walnut filling.
- Chestnut Bejgli: Use sweet chestnut puree instead of walnuts.
- Rum-Soaked Raisins: Soak the raisins in rum for extra flavor.
