🧺Traditional Hungarian Beigli / Hagyományos mákos bejgli | Chef Gabriel

Описание: In this video, I welcome you into my modest, rustic kitchen,
where I prepare a traditional Hungarian dessert: Beigli with poppy seeds.

Throughout the entire video, you will hear traditional Hungarian folk music played on accordion.
This music accompanies the cooking process from beginning to end
to create a calm, nostalgic atmosphere
and to honor the cultural roots of this beautiful recipe.

The Beigli recipe presented in this video is an original and authentic one,
which I received from a good friend of mine from Hungary, László Szabó.
He owns one of the oldest places dedicated to traditional Hungarian products,
where old recipes and handmade methods are still respected today.

His traditional workshop, Szabó Hagyományos Műhely,
is located in Kalocsa, Hungary,
a region well known for its deep culinary traditions and folk heritage.

This video shows that true tradition does not require luxury or modern machines.
It only needs simple tools, patience, and love for authentic food.

Thank you for watching.

Roll the dough tightly and seal the edges.
