About Beigli
King Arthur shares Zingerman's walnut beigli, learned from Budapest's Auguszt baking family. This Hungarian celebration roll has a tender yeast dough made with cake flour, all-purpose flour, butter and lard.
The filling combines finely and roughly chopped walnuts with breadcrumbs, cinnamon and lemon zest. A syrup of honey, sugar, vegetable oil, water and raisins binds the mixture.
Separate egg-yolk and egg-white glazes give the baked rolls their characteristic crackled crust. The long, mahogany-coloured loaves cool completely before serving, revealing a dense walnut spiral when sliced.
