These Flaky, Sweet Rogaliki are buttery, jam-filled pastries that melt in your mouth. Perfect for any occasion, they are versatile, easy to make, and always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour, plus extra for dusting

2 tsp rapid rise or instant yeast

½ tsp fine sea salt

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted and cooled to 110°F

1 cup whole milk, warmed to 110°F

2½ tbsp granulated sugar, divided

1 cup berry jam or blended preserves (strawberry, raspberry, apricot, or your choice)

1 cup confectioners’ sugar (for finishing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, yeast, and salt.
  3. In a stand mixer or using a hand mixer, combine the melted butter and warm milk. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the butter mixture, mixing until the dough is smooth and no longer sticky (about 3-5 minutes). Let the dough rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  4. Divide the dough into five equal portions. Roll each portion into a 10-inch circle, about ¼-inch thick. Sprinkle ½ tablespoon of granulated sugar over each circle, then spread a thin layer of jam over the surface.
  5. Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, slice each circle into 12 triangles. Roll each triangle tightly from the wider edge toward the narrow tip to form a crescent shape. Place them seam-side down on the prepared baking sheets.
  6. Allow the pastries to proof in a warm area for 30-45 minutes, until slightly puffed.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, turning the trays halfway through. The tops should be lightly golden.
  8. While still warm, roll the baked pastries in confectioners’ sugar. Let them cool slightly before serving.

Notes

Use your favorite fruit jam or preserves. Berry flavors like raspberry or strawberry are classic, but apricot or even chocolate spread can be great alternatives.

Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for a warm, spiced flavor.

For bite-sized rogaliki, cut the dough circles into smaller sections.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 days or freeze unbaked pastries for later use.
