Beiglis are walnut or poppyseed rolls, originating from 14th century Silesia (historical region mostly in Poland). These sweet rolls were originally prepared in the shape of horseshoes, which explains the name “beigli”, meaning “bent”. These days the filling can also be prepared with sour cherries, chestnuts, or plums, or anything else, really. When preparing the beigli, the baker must maintain a fragile balance between the amount of filling and dough, otherwise the beigli will either feel empty, or burst with the moisture. While many feel utter shame upon bursting their beigli, don’t worry if that happens to you, it will still taste delicious.
