Bagli/Beigli with Walnuts (Hungarian Panettone)
Among the various types of panettone I decided to try, there’s also the Hungarian panettone! A traditional Hungarian recipe made in two types, one with poppy seeds and one with walnuts which is the one I chose to prepare. This dessert is made in the shape of a roll with abundant walnuts for the filling and then kept in the fridge for a few hours before baking.
