No Bake Flatbread Rugelach-Honey Pecan and Brown Sugar

I remember making this delectable little treat known as “Rugelach” over a year ago or so, though I knew very little about its food history. What I learned is that it was and is very versatile where the filling in a rolled pastry dough was concerned.

Basically, this rolled up and baked confection treat, and of what I now know to be is of Jewish origin, was filled with foods primarily consisting of raisins, nuts, chocolate, marzipan, spices and sugar. However, in today’s American kitchens, its fillings are basically any food of interest.

So, in my own test kitchen, I thought why not use flatbread to take make my own special Rugelach where there is no wait, and no dough to roll out or bake, and where it could still be wrapped with tasty fillings and rolled out, usually from a triangle shape starting at the base or larger end. Though my Rugelach is not perfectly shaped, the idea behind it is and so is the taste. Anyway, I hope to have the technique mastered on future Rugelach recipe posts. 🙂

The Rugelach I made today uses thin flatbread that I nuked only for a few seconds in order to make it pliable and rollable, not to mention its chewiness layer upon layer. Then I immediately covered it with room temperature, and softened butter. However, olive or coconut oil and sauces can also be used depending on whether the Rugelach is meant to be sweet or savory. These act as the special glue to seal the Rugelach together.

It is then topped with fillings of choice and rolled up and ready to immediately devour. However, I recommend reheating or rewarming the Rugelach a few more seconds after adding the contents so that the bread is still nice and chewy before eating.

Anyway, enjoy my No Bake Honey Pecan and Brown Sugar Flatbread Rugelach and let it be the springboard for you to likewise enjoy Rugelach re-invented in a variety of ways and taste without having to turn on the oven to enjoy this Yiddish delicacy.
