Yeast strudel with apples and nuts is airy, tender and juicy inside. It is better to bake the delicacy from ready-made puff pastry, which can be bought in almost every store today. Classic strudel is made from a special stretched dough, which is very similar in structure to puff pastry. Frozen puff pastry completely retains its properties. The main thing is to defrost it gradually: first on the refrigerator shelf, and then at room temperature. It is better to take sweet apples, then the amount of sugar can be reduced.

How to cook Yeast strudel

Step 1

Prepare the filling. Mix the apples with cinnamon and half the sugar. Leave for 20 minutes to allow the fruit to release its juice. In another bowl, mix the nuts with the breadcrumbs and the other half of the sugar.

Step 2

Form the strudel. Roll out a thin sheet of defrosted dough, sprinkle it with half of the nut-bread mixture. Put half of the apples on top. Fold the edges of the dough. Then roll it into a roll. Repeat the same with the second sheet of dough and the rest of the filling.

Step 3

Bake the strudel. Place the strudel on a baking sheet. Brush the top with yolk. Make crosswise cuts on each roll with a knife. Bake at 190 degrees until golden brown for about 30-40 minutes.

Yeast strudel - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I use puff pastry instead of yeast dough for this strudel?

Yes, puff pastry works well as a substitute and will give the strudel a flakier texture. Just ensure it's thawed before rolling.

How can I make this strudel nut-free?

Simply omit the nuts and replace them with extra breadcrumbs or rolled oats for a similar texture.

Can I prepare the strudel ahead of time and bake it later?

Yes, assemble the strudel, wrap it tightly in plastic, and refrigerate for up to 12 hours. Brush with yolk and bake when ready.

What’s the best way to store leftover strudel?

Store cooled strudel in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.

Is there a vegan alternative for the egg yolk glaze?

Use a plant-based milk or maple syrup brush for a golden finish, though it won’t be as glossy as egg yolk.

Can I freeze the unbaked strudel for later use?

Yes, wrap the unbaked strudel tightly in plastic and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge before baking.

How do I reheat the strudel without drying it out?

Warm slices in a 175°C (350°F) oven for 10 minutes or microwave briefly (10-15 sec/slice) covered with a damp paper towel.

What can I serve with this apple strudel?

Pair with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar for a decadent dessert.

Can I use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free version?

Yes, gluten-free breadcrumbs work well. Ensure the dough is also gluten-free for a fully GF strudel.
