You don't have to make your own puff pastry. It is enough to buy a frozen semi-finished product, thaw it well, roll it out to the desired thickness and wrap the filling, and what it will be is up to you.
The selection describes step by step how to prepare a puff pastry strudel with the most popular apple filling, minced meat and a spinach pie snack.
The fillings for such a cake can be very different. Apples stewed with nuts and raisins are considered classics, meat is prepared from minced meat. There are also puff pastry strudel snacks, a step-by-step recipe for one of them is included in our selection. You can experiment with fillings, strudel is prepared with pears, cherries, cottage cheese, which is mixed with canned fruits. The main thing in such a cake, its base, is a thin, crispy dough.
There are two types of puff pastry: yeast and unleavened. It is undesirable to use a yeast semi-finished product for strudel. Even being thinly rolled out, such dough does not lose its splendor after baking, although housewives prefer the yeast semi-finished product. The independent production of puff pastry is not excluded, especially since there are many quick recipes.
Most often, the pie is formed in the form of a roll, but this applies only to light fillings, minced meat and other weighty fillings are wrapped in dough according to the envelope principle. The reason for this is the thinly rolled layers, which are easy to break through when folding. The surface of the formed strudel is evenly pierced, if this is not done, the steam formed during baking inside the cake will break the thin layer of dough.
The baking sheet is lined with parchment before baking the cake. The paper does not require additional oiling; there is enough fat in the dough to prevent sticking. Like any pastry, strudels are placed only in a preheated oven. The optimum temperature is 180 degrees, and the duration is no more than 30 minutes and depends on the type of filling.
Slightly cooled sweet strudel is usually decorated with powdered sugar and served with a scoop of ice cream. Meat and snack options of the pie do not require additions.
The correct preparation of puff pastry apple strudel takes place in several stages:
You can quickly make the famous Viennese pie using a ready-made base that is easy to find in stores. The semi-finished product must be taken out of the pack and left until defrosting. You can choose a yeast-free or yeast dough. Many housewives prefer to prepare the base themselves. The puff recipe is easy to find on culinary sites. It is not difficult, but you will spend a little more time.
A step-by-step recipe for puff pastry strudel - "Apple Classic". Sliced apples are stewed in sugar syrup, and emphasize the taste, complementing the filling with nuts and raisins. Cinnamon is used as a flavoring agent.
Ingredients:
A kilogram of sweet and sour apples;
Kilogram packing of puff semi-finished product (yeast);
A glass of walnut kernels;
Half a pack of "Peasant" butter;
Half a glass of sugar;
70 gr. white breading (finely ground crackers);
Cinnamon powder to taste
100 g raisins.
Cooking method:
1. Having taken out the package with the dough from the freezer, we leave it on the table. As it thaws, be sure to unfold - bend the upper soft layers to the sides. To prevent the dough from sticking to the table, you can put a clean towel under it.
2. The puff pastry is slowly defrosting, and we are preparing the apple filling. Scatter raisins on the table, choose litter and spoiled berries. After scalding with boiling water, leave in warm water for ten minutes, and then rinse again. Strain off excess water by throwing the raisins onto a sieve.
3. We wash the apples, remove the peel from the fruit with a thin layer and remove the core. Cut the apple halves into thin slices.
4. We interrupt the nuts with a blender into large crumbs. You can chop nuts and a knife.
5. Place a deep frying pan on medium heat and add about 70 grams of butter. Pour sugar into the melted butter, mix thoroughly, melt it too. Put apples in the resulting syrup, add cinnamon powder. Stir occasionally, simmer for seven minutes without covering - the moisture should evaporate. Add raisins and nuts to the apples, mix, continue to simmer until the moisture has completely evaporated. We shift the finished apple filling into a deep plate, cool.
6. Roll out the thawed dough into a thin layer and cut it in half. Sprinkle one part with half of the cooked crackers and level part of the filling on it, roll it into a loose roll. We do the same with the second part of the dough and the remaining filling. Do not forget about the breading, this is done so that the juice does not flow out of the pie, but is absorbed into the crackers.
7. Cover the baking sheet with parchment and carefully transfer the prepared rolls to it. We lay the future strudel with the seam down and be sure to pierce the surface with a sharp splinter in several places. We place the brazier in a preheated oven, setting it on the middle level, and cook the strudel for half an hour. Grease the surface of the hot cake with the remaining butter.

Baking a real German strudel is a task that not every chef can do, therefore, especially for those who have not yet mastered the skills of haute cuisine, there are lightweight options, one of which we will master today. We will prepare a quick apple strudel, a recipe from ready-made puff pastry - you just need to defrost it. I tried to show in as much detail as possible how to twist the strudel so that it does not fall apart and the filling does not leak out of it. As a result, we get a puff roll with a crispy crust on the outside and a juicy filling on the inside. As a filling, you can use not only apples, but also pears, cherries, cottage cheese. We will make the filling the way the Germans usually make it - a lot of apples and a handful of fried crushed nuts.
Ingredients:
1. Wash, peel and cut into medium cubes sweet and sour apples to taste and dense in structure.
2. Then mix the apple cubes with crushed peanuts, sugar and starch, which will prevent the apple juice from flowing out when baking. Set the cup with apples and nuts aside for 10 minutes. During this time, the apple cubes will release juice, which will moisten the starch and sugar.
3. Carefully roll out the layer of thawed purchased puff pastry into a rectangle (about 27 * 33 cm).
4. Then sprinkle the resulting rectangle with a thin layer of bread crumbs. In this case, we leave the edge of one of the long sides (about 2 cm) without rusk powder.
5. Place the apple-nut filling in the center of the rectangle. We put it in a wide strip along the long side.
6. Using a culinary brush, moisten the edge of the dough, left without powder, with plain water.
7. And start wrapping the apple strudel. First, fold the edge completely sprinkled with breadcrumbs onto the filling.
8. And then cover with an overlap with the second edge. The wetted edge of this side immediately adheres to the first fold.
9. And turn down the ends of the apple strudel.
10. Transfer the wrapped strudel to a baking sheet lined with paper and grease with an egg, beaten with a pinch of sugar.
11. Then with a sharp knife we make transverse cuts along the strudel. These cuts are necessary so that during the baking process, steam will escape through them, which will form inside the strudel.
12. Bake apple strudel at 180 degrees. After 35-40 minutes, the strudel will brown beautifully, which will indicate its readiness. Sprinkle the finished hot strudel (optional) with powdered sugar and let cool slightly.
13. And then we cut and serve either with a cup of tea, or accompanied by a scoop of ice cream. It turns out very tasty.
