Kifli

Cultural Context

Kifli, a beloved pastry in Hungary, has roots in the Austro-Hungarian Empire, where it was often enjoyed during festive occasions. Traditionally shaped like crescents, these rolls symbolize good fortune and are often filled with sweet or savory ingredients. Today, Kifli has found its way into bakeries and homes worldwide, with variations that reflect local tastes and ingredients.
