Kürtőskalács (Chimney Cake) Recipe 🍩🔥

3️⃣ Let it Rise

⏳ Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.

4️⃣ Shape the Chimney Cake

🌀 Punch down the dough and roll it out into a ¼-inch thick rectangle.
🔪 Cut the dough into 1-inch wide strips.
🥢 Wrap the strips around a rolling pin, a wooden paper towel tube covered in foil, or oven-safe cans. Slightly overlap the strips so they stick together.

5️⃣ Butter & Coat

🖌️ Brush the wrapped dough with melted butter and roll it in granulated sugar (and cinnamon, if using).

6️⃣ Bake or Grill

🔥 Traditional Method: If using a rotisserie-style grill, turn slowly over an open flame until golden brown and caramelized.
🔥 Oven Method: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and bake for 12-15 minutes, turning halfway through for even browning.

7️⃣ Add Final Touches & Serve!

🥥 While hot, roll in crushed nuts, coconut, or cocoa powder.
🌪️ Carefully remove from the rolling pin or tube and let it cool slightly.
🍽️ Enjoy fresh while it’s warm, crispy, and aromatic!


💡 Pro Tips:

✔️ No rolling pin? Use an empty foil-covered can to wrap the dough!
✔️ For extra crunch, use brown sugar instead of white.
✔️ Love chocolate? Drizzle with melted chocolate or dip in Nutella! 🍫😍

🔥 Now take a bite and enjoy the magic of Kürtőskalács! 😋✨
