If there are so many names, there is a vast collection of recipes accompanying them too!
We did not attempt to choose the most “rightful” one. We started with the taste we want to deliver and then, after many hours of tweaking, reverse-engineered it back to the list of ingredients.
Our Rogliki recipe is neither right nor wrong nor linked to a particular region, it represents our sweet memories of these delightful, crescent-shaped bread rolls available in abundant supply in places where we grew up.
