Austrian Strudel

Cookinero 4 Apr 2025

The main secret of a good strudel is a very thin dough. According to legend, it used to be tested on a newspaper: if you can read something through the dough, it was a success. If you want to get a result no worse at home, then the dough should not be rolled out, but stretched to the sides, although this will take much more time. But it is no less important for the recipe of Austrian strudel to choose the right apples. They should be green, large and firm, with a slight sourness, so that the filling does not turn out too sweet.

How to cook Austrian Strudel

Step 1

Austrian Strudel

Knead the dough. Sift the flour onto the table, leaving 2 tablespoons, add salt. Form a mound of flour with a depression in the center. Pour water into the depression, 2 tablespoons of oil and add the yolk. Knead the dough for 15 minutes until it is elastic and smooth. Form a ball, cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for 60 minutes.

Step 2

Prepare the filling. Cut the apples into small pieces, mix with raisins and almonds. Crumble the bread finely and dry it a little.

Step 3

Austrian Strudel - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can use pears, peaches, or cherries as alternatives to apples. Just ensure they are finely chopped and adjust sugar levels to taste, as some fruits may be sweeter or more tart.
Store leftover strudel in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days. Reheat briefly in the oven for the best texture.
Yes, replace the regular flour with a gluten-free flour blend. Ensure the blend includes xanthan gum for elasticity, or add 1/4 tsp per cup of flour to mimic gluten's binding properties.
Roll the dough gently on a well-floured surface, starting from the center and working outward. If it tears, patch it with a small piece of dough—it will bake together.
Yes, wrap the unbaked or baked strudel tightly in plastic and foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before baking or reheating.
Strudel pairs beautifully with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar. A drizzle of caramel or vanilla sauce also enhances the flavor.
Yes, margarine can replace butter, but it may alter the flavor slightly. Choose a high-fat margarine for the best texture in both the dough and filling.
Reduce the sugar in the filling or use a natural sweetener like stevia. Opt for sweeter apple varieties to compensate for less added sugar.
