Strawberry strudel

Strudels with strawberries are a delicacy that combines the aroma of fresh fruits with the fluffy texture of the dough, offering an unforgettable culinary experience. Start by letting the dough thaw slowly in the refrigerator to achieve optimal consistency. This is an essential step, as well-thawed dough will be easier to handle. Once the dough is completely thawed, take a sheet and roll it out a bit with a rolling pin, being careful to achieve an even thickness. This will help in obtaining tender and delicious strudels.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling from strawberries. Wash the fruits well and cut them in half or, if you have larger strawberries, into quarters. Mix the strawberries with sugar, cornstarch, and cinnamon, making sure to combine them well. The sugar will help caramelize the fruits during baking, and the cinnamon will add a splendid aromatic note.

Once the filling is ready, move on to cutting the dough. Use a sharp knife to cut the dough into rectangles of 15 cm by 10 cm. On each piece, make a few fine cuts at the base of the rectangle to allow steam to escape during baking. Then, place a generous portion of the strawberry filling in the center of each rectangle.

Now comes the fun part: gently roll the cut side of the dough over the strawberries, forming a roll. Make sure the filling stays well wrapped. After rolling all the strudels, brush them with a beaten egg to achieve a golden and shiny crust during baking.

Place the strudels on a tray lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius and bake the strudels until they puff up slightly, then reduce the temperature to 180 degrees and continue baking until they become browned and appetizing on the surface. The aroma that will fill the kitchen during baking is simply irresistible.

Once the strudels are ready, take the tray out of the oven and let them cool a bit before serving. These strawberry strudels are perfect both warm and at room temperature, making them ideal for a savory dessert or to impress guests at a party. Enjoy every bite and delight in the perfect combination of the sweetness of strawberries and the tender texture of the dough!
