Quick Strudel with Dates and Nuts
Description
The recipe won't take much time. For this recipe it's best to use puff pastry without yeast. In the filling, almonds can easily be replaced with other nuts or breadcrumbs. Dates are also easily substituted with any other dried fruits. But I want to say that this variation appeals to me the most – try it yourself. Serve it cooled or slightly warm.
