Strudel with peaches
Description
The recipe won’t take much time. Traditionally, strudel is made from stretched dough. It is rolled out very thinly and then carefully stretched with both hands until it becomes transparent. We’ll make strudel the easier way: buy puff pastry and simply try to roll it out as thinly as possible. For the filling, we’ll use peaches, but it can be any fruits or berries to your taste. Everything is simple, quick, easy, and very delicious! Be sure to try it. Serve cooled or slightly warm.

Step 1
Prepare all the ingredients. It’s not necessary to calculate the dough weight exactly; I simply take a 250-gram sheet from the package and divide it into two halves.

Step 4
Roll out the dough thinly into a rectangle. Place the filling closer to one edge. Fold in the edges and roll the dough into a log. The seam should end up on top; pinch it closed thoroughly.
