Strudel with sauerkraut - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use a different type of cabbage?

While sauerkraut is traditional, you can experiment with other types of cabbage. Green cabbage that has been finely shredded and cooked would be a good substitute. You might need to adjust the seasoning and cooking time to match the tangy flavor and texture of sauerkraut.

How long does the sauerkraut strudel last?

Properly stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, the baked strudel will last for 3-4 days. For optimal flavor, consume it sooner rather than later.

Can I make this recipe vegetarian?

This recipe is already vegetarian! Just make sure the vegetable oil you use is suitable for vegetarians.

What can I serve with sauerkraut strudel?

Sauerkraut strudel is delicious on its own, but it pairs well with creamy dips like sour cream or a dill-yogurt sauce. It also complements soups and salads. Try serving it as a side dish with roasted meats or vegetables.

Can I freeze sauerkraut strudel?

Yes, you can freeze the baked strudel. Make sure it's completely cooled before wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap and then in aluminum foil, or placing it in a freezer-safe container. It can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator before reheating in a moderate oven until warmed through.

Can I use other herbs instead of dill and parsley?

Absolutely! Feel free to experiment with other herbs like chives, thyme, or even a touch of caraway seeds for a different flavor profile. Just use the same amount as the original recipe specifies.

What if my puff pastry is sticking when I roll it out?

Make sure your work surface is lightly floured. If the pastry is still sticking, try chilling it in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to firm it up before rolling. Rolling between two sheets of parchment paper can also help.

Can I prepare the cabbage filling in advance?

Yes, you can prepare the cabbage filling a day ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This can save you time on the day you plan to bake the strudel.
