Sweet Pastry (strudel Or Roll With Cream/icing) Recipe

Prepare the Dough

Begin by sifting approximately 30-50 grams of flour into a mixing bowl. Incorporate 10-20 grams of sugar and a pinch of salt to taste. Add 5-15 grams of butter or oil, blending until the mixture achieves a crumbly texture. Gently beat 1 egg (about 10-20 grams), and mix into the flour mixture. Gradually add water while kneading until a soft dough forms. Allow the dough to rest for about 30 minutes, covered, at room temperature.

Prepare the Filling

Choose your desired fillings, such as fruits, nuts, or spices like cinnamon or vanilla, and prepare them as necessary. If using fruits, ensure they are chopped to the desired size. For nuts, a rough chop will suffice to incorporate texture and flavor.

Assemble and Bake

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a thin layer. Spread the prepared filling evenly over the dough, leaving a margin at the edges. Roll the dough carefully, sealing the edges. Place on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-35 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before topping with cream or icing.
