Strudel with blueberries
Description
The recipe will not take much time. For a tasty strudel you don’t necessarily have to buy puff pastry from the shop. Ordinary dough comes together quite easily — with water and vegetable oil. After baking it becomes crisp, flaky, and very tasty. The main thing is to roll the jelly roll tightly several times.

Step 8
Remove the strudel from the oven and slice it while still warm after letting it cool slightly. Optionally dust with confectioners’ sugar and serve with tea or coffee. Once the pastry has cooled, you will not be able to slice it: the pastry becomes crispy and will break apart.
