Some of the best holiday desserts aren’t very aesthetically pleasing. There’s always a few astray apples in apple pie, and who could forget how challenging it is to decorate sugar cookies? Luckily, there is one treat your holiday spread has been missing: Hungarian nut roll. Not only is the confection delicious, but it’s also beautiful.
Because of its flavor and impressive look, Hungarian nut rolls are perfect for holidays, weddings and more. But the nut filling is so tasty that you'll want the treat year-round. The delicate swirl of yeast dough and sugary filling can be made with common pantry staples like milk, salt, sugar and butter.
The most challenging part of a dessert like this is rolling it. A little baking hack: after spreading some of the nut mixture onto the dough, moisten the edges of the dough with water and then roll. Once that part is done, cover the nut roll and let it rise for one hour, then bake it for about 40 minutes.
This recipe serves about 24 people, so if you’re hosting a smaller holiday dinner this year, just freeze the leftovers and reheat it later. But if you’re on a time crunch and need a dessert fast or if you simply want to add more treats to your holiday spread, try out some of our all-time best cookie recipes.
