How to Make Baigli (Traditional Hungarian Roulade)

- Add the sugar, raisins, lemon zest, and simmer for 10 minutes while stirring in the process.
- Add the poppy seeds and mix them with the obtained mixture.
- Start rolling the dough with a rolling pin until thin. Divide it into 2. Give it a squared shape.
- Spread the poppy seeds mixture, leaving around a 0.5 inch (1.2 cm) border.
- Take the edges and put them over the filling.
- Carefully start rolling from the end closest to you towards the opposite end.
- Repeat the steps with the remaining dough, using the walnuts as filling.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay both baigli on it.
- Refrigerate for 10 minutes.
