Strudel Dough Recipe
Description
The Strudel Dough Recipe uses simple pantry staples including flour, eggs, sugar, oil, and water, producing a dough that is rolled thin and suitable for wrapping a sweet or savory filling. After resting, the dough is rolled into a rectangle and tightly rolled around fillings to form strudels before baking. The recipe suggests brushing with egg wash for a golden finish and optionally adding melted butter on the baking sheet for richness.
The dough creates a delicate yet sturdy texture that can hold diverse fillings without tearing. Its thinness yields a tender crust once baked, similar to traditional strudel doughs, allowing the filling to shine.
This dough yields enough for two long strudels, perfect for multiple servings or slicing into smaller pieces for dessert or brunch accompaniments. It works well with various fillings due to its neutral flavor and flexible texture.
Notes recommend brushing with butter for richness and applying an egg wash to develop color and shine. The dough rests at room temperature for better elasticity. This recipe produces enough dough for about eight servings.
Ingredients
- 3 cups all-purpose flour plus more for dusting
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 egg
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/2 cup water
Instructions
- In a large bowl with a whisk by hand, mix together the flour, salt, and sugar. Add eggs and vegetable oil, and water, and mix until dough is smooth. Cover with plastic wrap and allow to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
- Adjust oven rack to lower-middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper (add melted butter to the parchment if desired; see note 1).
- On the counter, lay a clean kitchen towel down and lightly dust with flour. Divide dough into two pieces. Place one piece of the dough onto the floured towel and using a rolling pin, roll out into a rectangle shape, about 1/8 inch thick.
- Place half of your preferred filling mixture along the long edge of the dough. using the kitchen towel to assist, roll the dough around the filling tightly. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- Place both strudels seam-side down onto the prepared baking sheet (brush with an egg wash if desired; see note 2). Place in oven and bake until crust is golden brown, about 25-30 minutes. Allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Notes
- Brush the baking sheet lined with parchment paper with melted butter before placing the strudel to enrich the crust.
- Apply an egg wash made from one egg and a tablespoon of water on the strudel before baking to develop a golden brown color.
- The recipe yields enough dough for two long strudels, suitable for about eight dessert or side servings.
