Delisious yeast pastry, great as a breakfast snack, with afternoon coffee or as a dessert for a light meal
I've been craving Rogalach since the weather got colder, and eventually decided to make them myself. Totally worth the work and all the dirty dishes.

I used a chocolate and a cheese filling but you can use almost anything - jam, nuts, dried figs, apple anything sweet and tasty.
