Hagelslag ingredients

Posted by Worried-Usual-396@reddit | budapest | View on Reddit | 7 comments

Hey there. I am a local but I'll write in English so maybe I can get some Dutch input.

So my retired step mom was recently reminiscing about how she liked Hagelslag / "fairy bread" in her childhood when visiting some Dutch relatives.

She does more and more reminiscing of old days and I thought I'll "prepare" Hagelslag for her birthday in May.

So my questions are:

- Do you know of any Dutch shops in Budapest? I've found Dutch cheese shops, but it's not what I need

- Do you know of any place where I can buy the De Rujiter sprinkles themselves?

- The bread... And mainly this is my main question. So online I only found that it is made with soft, white bread. But I guess I shouldn't go with sourdough? Something fluffier and sweeter? Any local recommendations?

Thank you in advance for any tips.

You can get chocolate sprinkles from most shops I think, it's called csokoládéreszelék. I would use Kalács which is like brioche.

What I know for sure is that csokireszelék is not the same as what they use in the Netherlands.

That's not even the issue, if anything I can order the sprinkles online.

Thanks for the tip on the bread though. So the bread itself should be sweet?

I don't know how they do it in the Netherlands but it's what I would use for sweet stuff in Hungary.

This is the correct way to eat hagelslag here.

Dutch-Hungarian here. Kakaós tortadara and any sort of toast kenyér would be close enough to our hagelslag and white bread.

You can buy chocolate sprinkles in any bigger supermarket, but those are less likely of original De Ruijters.
I found only one place online and it sells only in larger quantities so you would be having reserves for the next ten years. https://www.cukraszvilag.hu/csokis-dekoracio/csokoladerizs-sotet-1-kg
The sweet bread that you can buy here is the "kalács" which has similar taste and consistency but its not of square slices.
