Step 1
Prepare all the necessary ingredients. To make the strudel, we will need just one sheet of ready-made puff yeast dough. Take it out of the refrigerator in advance and place it on a floured work surface. While we prepare the filling, the dough will defrost and become very soft, making it easy to roll out.

Step 2
Cut the pears into small cubes. I use softer pears because they are sweeter and caramelize better.

Melt the butter in a skillet, add the pear, sugar, ground nutmeg, and cinnamon. Cook over low heat for about 7–8 minutes.

Roll the dough into a roll, sealing the edges. Make several shallow cuts on top. Brush the strudel with beaten egg and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 15 minutes.
