Method

In a large bowl, combine flour, yeast, salt, and warm water. Knead until smooth, then let rise for 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Divide dough into 12 equal pieces and roll into balls.
Flatten each ball into a disk, spread ajvar on top, and roll into a cylinder. Pinch the ends to seal.
Place on a baking sheet, brush with beaten egg, and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy with additional ajvar on the side.
