Classic recipe for puff pastry strudel with cherries

Kitchen appliances: oven.

Ingredients

Step-by-step preparation

1. Thaw cherries if necessary. You can separate from the juice if you wish, but the added starch and breading will still absorb liquid.
2. Add starch and sugar to the cherries and stir.

3. Spread parchment paper on the table, roll out a thin layer of the dough you prepared on it, or unroll the finished dough and, if necessary, also roll it out a little.

4. Melt the butter until liquid, brush the rolled out layer with it, leaving the edges a centimeter and a half dry so that you can seal the edges of the pie.

5. Sprinkle the buttered layer with breading.

6. Place the previously prepared filling onto 1/3-1/4 of the layer.

   
   and carefully, so as not to tear the dough, roll it into a roll, progressively fastening its edges so that the filling does not fall out.

7. Place the future strudel along with baking paper on a baking sheet. Brush the pie with beaten egg to give the finished product a delicious crust.

8. Bake at 200 ºC for about half an hour - it all depends on how well your oven bakes. Check the cake periodically while baking.

Cherry strudel with chocolate and nuts! Just the name makes your mouth water! I will bake from ready-made puff pastry with frozen cherries. The strudel cannot be baked in advance; it must arrive on the table warm. A heated strudel loses its taste. That is why it is so rare in cafes and even in decent restaurants to try a truly delicious strudel. I suggest adding dark chocolate to the traditional cherry strudel filling. Chocolate goes well with cherries; it gives the taste a refined touch. From the juice obtained by defrosting the cherries, I will prepare cherry sauce. Cherry strudel, sprinkled with sauce, looks very elegant and truly festive. Here are links to similar recipes - apple strudel, apple strudel in pita bread, vegan apple strudel.
