My first try at a Strudel/Strietzel but I used pear sauce and almond paste —MarieGlobetrotter
Ingredients
-
1
sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
-
350g
pear sauce
-
200g
almond paste
-
1 cup
icing sugar
-
1
egg yolk
-
icing sugar to decorate
Directions
-
For the filling, mix almond paste, pear sauce, warm milk and icing sugar. The mixture should be smooth and be easily spreadable.
-
Roll out the puff pastry on a baking sheet, lengthwise. Spread the almond paste mixture down the middle of the dough, leaving a 3 cm border free on each side. Fold the pastry lengthwise and seal the edges of pastry by pinching extremities together.
-
Preheat oven on 400F.
Whisk egg and brush onto top of pastry
-
Bake for 30-40 min. If Strudel turns golden too quickly, cover with aluminum.
Decorate with icing sugar
