Assembly

  1. Dust the work surface with flour then divide the dough into 2 parts. Work with one piece at a time, roll out the dough into a ⅛” / 3mm high rectangular shape, the length of our baking tray.Nut roll - bejgli - recipe - SunCakeMom
  2. Fill half of it along one of the long side of the dough. Mind to leave an empty stripe on one side otherwise the dough can’t be closed properly.Nut roll - bejgli - recipe - SunCakeMom

  5. Place the dough into the middle rack of a 350°F / 180°C preheated oven then bake until the internal temperature reaches 185°F / 85°C and the top gets a golden brown color, which should happen in about 20-30 minutes depending on the oven.Nut roll - bejgli - recipe - SunCakeMom
