Who and when came up with the idea of stretching raw, specially prepared dough to the thickness of tissue paper, and then wrapping it in a thick layer of fruit filling? It is said that the history of this amazing strudel cake has its roots in Byzantium and even Ancient Greece. It received its current name much later, in the XVIII century, from German confectioners. They made him the king of the pies of that time, contesting the palm among his cakes with the Viennese bakers. German, Austrian, Hungarian, Czech confectionery successfully sold all kinds of strudels – with nuts, apples, cottage cheese, cherries, strawberries, poppy seeds, raisins. In those days strudels were not only sweet, but also with mushroom, potato, cabbage and even fish fillings. Currently, preference is given to strudel for tea. Strudels have conquered the hearts of confectioners by the fact that they harden for a long time (the property of the dough to exhale) and they have a large proportion of filling – you can not be afraid to get fat. In addition, strudel dough can be prepared without fats, which is very important both for people who follow a diet and for those who suffer from diathesis.
The dough is easy to prepare and handle. The filling can be replaced with another one. A very tasty dessert and still looks great on the festive table.
