Strudel with poppy seeds is a classic pastry for tea, which, perhaps, we all know from childhood. And today instead of buying this delicacy in the store, we learn how to prepare a strudel.
The recipe for poppy strudel
Ingredients:
- flour - 0.5 kg;
- butter - 200 grams (of which 30-50 leave to lubricate the strudel before baking);
- egg - 1 piece;
- water - 1 tablespoon;
- poppy - 250 grams;
- sugar (better - powdered sugar) - 250 grams;
- jam, jam or honey - 4 tablespoons;
- Nuts (it is better to use a mixture of two or three species) - 100 grams.
Preparation
Preparation of strudel begins, of course, with the dough. Flour is sieved, butter, egg, water and a pinch of salt are added to it. The mixture is carefully combined until a steep dough turns out, from which we will bake our strudel strudel. Dough better knead your hands, no whiskers or mixers can not cope. Now wrap it with a film and leave to rest while the filling is being prepared.
Poppy pour a liter of cold water, put on the fire and cook for about 10 minutes. If there is a lot of liquid - it can be wrung out. Now pour out the sugar, jam and shredded nuts, and mix. Nuts better cut with a knife - a combine or a meat grinder will turn them into a crumb, but we need the pieces.
Let's return to the test: it should be divided in half, each half thinly rolled out and left for 10 minutes. When the layers dry, once again rolled and greased with melted butter. The filling is laid out so that only one, narrower edge remains empty by 2-3 centimeters. Now turn the layer into a roll and put it on a baking tray. The strudel is baked from the dough for about 25 minutes at 230 degrees. When it is ready, and the kitchen is filled with a delicious aroma, we get a treat from the oven, cut into portions, wait for the strudel to cool and call everyone for tea!
Also you can prepare other versions of the strudel: with apples , strawberries and even with meat .
