Strudel Dough Recipes

EASY APPLE STRUDEL

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Place apples in a large bowl. Stir in brown sugar and golden raisins; set aside. Place puff pastry on baking sheet. Roll lightly with a rolling pin. Arrange apple filling down the middle of the pastry lengthwise. Fold the pastry lengthwise around the mixture. Seal edges of pastry by using a bit of water on your fingers, and rubbing the pastry edges together. Whisk egg and milk together, and brush onto top of pastry.
• Bake in preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until golden brown.

STRUDEL DOUGH

Steps:

• Stir the flour and salt together in a bowl of an electric mixer.
• Beat the egg and oil together with a fork in a 1-cup liquid measuring cup. Add enough warm water to make 2/3 cup.
• Use a rubber spatula to mix the liquid into the flour; make sure no flour remains on the side of the bowl and clean off the spatula.
• Attach the dough hook to an electric mixer and mix the dough on low speed until it begins to hold together, about 5 minutes. Increase the speed a couple of notches to just below medium and mix until the dough is smooth and elastic, another 5 minutes.
• Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 1 minute. Coat a small bowl with a very thin layer of oil and invert the dough into it; turn the dough over so that the top is oiled, and directly cover the surface of the dough with plastic wrap. Let rest for at least one hour or up to overnight.

GERMAN APPLE STRUDEL

Steps:

• Place flour in a mixer bowl; beat in 1/4 cup oil (mixture will be slightly crumbly). In a small bowl, slowly whisk warm water into beaten egg; add to flour mixture, mixing well. Beat in remaining oil until smooth. Transfer to a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rest in a warm place, about 30 minutes., Preheat oven to 350°. Spread bread crumbs into an ungreased 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake 10-15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Cool completely., Tape a 30x15-in. sheet of parchment onto a work surface; dust lightly with flour. Divide dough in half; place 1 portion on parchment and roll to a very thin 24x15-in. rectangle. (Keep remaining dough covered.) Remove tape from parchment., Sprinkle 3/4 cup bread crumbs over rectangle to within 1 in. of edges. Starting 3 in. from a short side, sprinkle 3 cups apples and 1/4 cup raisins over a 3-in.-wide section of dough. Mix sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle half of the mixture over fruit. Drizzle with half of the melted butter., Roll up jelly-roll style, starting at fruit-covered end and lifting with parchment; fold in sides of dough as you roll to contain filling. Using parchment, transfer strudel to a 15x10x1-in. baking pan; trim parchment to fit pan., Bake on lowest oven rack 45-55 minutes or until golden brown, brushing top with sour cream 2 times while baking. Repeat with remaining ingredients., Using parchment, transfer to a wire rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

APPLE STRUDEL RECIPE

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine melted butter, flour, salt, and lukewarm water. Mix at medium speed about 1 minute until a smooth and elastic dough forms.
• In a small saucepan (with a lid) bring water to a boil then remove the pot from the heat, empty the pot and dry it with a dish towel. Line the pot with a sheet of parchment paper, put the dough into the pot and put the lid on. Let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine raisins and rum. Let sit for 30 minutes. Then discard the rum.
• Peel, core, and cut the apples into small stripes (batonnets, see image above). Combine apples with lemon juice. Add cinnamon, sugar, raisins, almonds, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
• Lay a thin kitchen towel preferably with a pattern flat on the counter. Sprinkle with flour. Roll the dough out as thin as you can. Brush it with a little bit of melted butter.
• Then use your hands to carefully stretch it until it is about 18x12 inches (45x30 cm) big and you're able to see the pattern of the dish towel through the dough.
• Brush half of the melted butter over the rolled out dough.
• The long side should be facing you. On the right side of the rectangle, leave a few inches space, then sprinkle the breadcrumbs top to bottom over the dough in a 6-inch thick line. Leave a 2-inch margin at the top and bottom of the strip.
• Pile the apple filling on top of the breadcrumbs. Use a slotted spoon so the liquid stays in the bowl.
• Fold the 2-inch margin at the top and bottom of the dough over onto the filling then roll up the strudel from the short side with the help of the towel. Tuck the ends.
• Carefully transfer the Strudel to the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Brush with a little bit of melted butter.
• Bake for about 50 minutes in the lower third of the oven, until lightly golden on top. Brush strudel with remaining melted butter every 20 min while in the oven.
• Let cool for 10 minutes then sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm.

STRUDEL DOUGH

Steps:

• Place the flour on a clean, dry work surface. Make an indentation in the middle. Gradually pour the oil, salt and tepid water in this hole. Keep stirring until the flour incorporates all liquid. (Like you would make a fresh pasta dough.).
• Knead until the dough is soft. Divide into two pieces, grease the tops, and cover. Let it rest for 10 minutes.
• Roll 1/2 of the dough into a large rectangular sheet on a cloth or parchment covered table. Let it rest 5 minutes.
• Gently pull the dough with your hands, starting from the middle and working to the edges. Carefully stretch the dough until it is paper thin. (I think I will just roll it a second time, instead of trying to pull it.).
• Moisten dough with melted butter. Spread filling of choice along long edge of dough. Wrap the other side of the dough up and over the filling (like a jelly roll,) using the cloth or parchment to help it along without tearing.
• Brush the top with additional melted butter. Slice if needed to fit onto your baking sheet, leaving a few inches between strudels.
• Repeat with remaining 1/2 of dough if you didn't have room to prepare both pieces at the same time.
• Bake at 350F until golden. (I made rounds filled with cooked beef, and they took 30 minutes to bake. There was no time listed, but I imagine it will take a bit longer for a whole strudel to bake).
• For apple strudel: spread thinly sliced apples on dough, and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
• For cream cheese strudel: beat 1 lb cream cheese with 2 eggs, a tsp vanilla, and 1/3 cup sugar for the filling.
• For meat strudels: mix 1 lb ground meat with 1 lb minced onions - she doesn't say to cook it first, but I would.
• Also, you could use a can of pie filling as the filling.

STRUCLA Z MIGDALOWA: POLISH ALMOND ROLL OR STRUDEL RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• For the dough, soften yeast in warm water in a small bowl, stir well and set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix flour, butter, sugar, and salt with a pastry blender or two knives, as for pie, until mixture has a fine crumb. (This step can also be done in a food processor by pulsing.)
• Combine eggs and egg yolks and stir into yeast mixture. Add sour cream and vanilla, and yeast mixture to flour mixture, combining well.
• Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and no longer sticky, about 5 minutes. Divide dough in half and cover with plastic wrap.
• Working with one-half at a time, on a parchment-lined baking sheet, roll into a 12-inch square. Spread on 1 can almond filling topped with 1/4 cup ground almonds.
• Use the parchment paper to help you lift and roll. Reposition the almond roll in the middle of the pan and tuck in the ends. Repeat for another half of dough on a separate sheet.
• Cover almond rolls and let rise until doubled, about 1 1/2 hours. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
• Bake about 45 minutes or until top is nicely browned. Cool completely on a wire rack.
• For icing, blend confectioners' sugar with milk until smooth. Drizzle over rolls and sprinkle with sliced almonds.

STRUDEL DOUGH

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder and salt.
• Mix sugar, eggs and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a small bowl. Quickly stir into the flour mixture. Mix in approximately 1/2 the water. Knead into a soft, pliable dough, using more of the water as necessary.
• Cover dough with a tea towel and allow to sit at least 1 hour while desired filling is prepared. To use, divide into two parts. Cover half the dough with plastic wrap while you roll out the other.
• Carefully stretch the dough into paper thinness on a lightly floured surface (a clean cotton sheet is ideal) and lightly brush with remaining vegetable oil. Fill and bake as desired.
