Strudel is a German dish. Translated into Russian, its name means “layers”. Therefore precisely puff pastry for apple strudel will work best. This is a very tasty dish that will become a “crown” for any housewife. Although cooking it takes a decent amount of time, it's worth it. We have ready puff pastry, and therefore we’ll spend less on cooking.
You will need:
- yeast puff pastry - half a kilo;
- apples - a pound;
- butter - half packs;
- sugar - half a glass;
- powdered sugar - a couple of spoons;
- raisins and nuts - 100 g each;
- breadcrumbs - 50 g;
- cinnamon to taste.
Defrost the dough and prepare the filling. Soak the raisins, chop nuts, clean my apples, cut them into thin slices. Then, when all the ingredients of the filling are ready, combine them, add cinnamon and mix.
Finely roll the finished dough into a large rectangle. Lubricate its surface with melted butter. We distribute breadcrumbs on it, retreating four centimeters from the edges, and ten centimeters from the left edge.
Then spread the filling evenly on breadcrumbs, observing the indentation. Now bend the right, free edge, laying it on top of the filling. Next is the top and bottom. Then we bend the left edge of the dough and also lay on top of everything. Now gently begin to fold the strudel. This does not roll, so roll the cake in the form of a cylinder is not worth it. It must be folded in at least three layers. To do this, conditionally divide the rectangle into three parts. Bend one of them inward, and place a second one on top of it. In this case, coat the dough with melted butter. Now the strudel must be placed on the prepared pan. Bake for half an hour or a little more, the temperature is 180 degrees. After it is ready, you need to sprinkle the top crust nicely through a sieve with powdered sugar.
Puff pastry rolls with cottage cheese
A great option for a home holiday from ready puff pastry. Such a roll can be baked quickly, without too much fuss, when the guests, one might say, are already on the doorstep. This delicious and satisfying sweet dish will appeal to everyone, even those who do not really like cottage cheese.
You will need:

Any cottage cheese will do. You can make it yourself from whole milk, then the taste of the roll will be unforgettable. While the dough will unfreeze, you can prepare the cottage cheese. Add sugar, salt and egg to it. Cut into small pieces pre-soaked dried fruits - dried apricots, prunes. Add chopped nuts. Mix everything.
It is better to buy frozen puff pastry in such a form that it does not have to be rolled out - in one layer or rolled up. If it was not possible to get such a dough, then roll it carefully; Since the layers can stick together, the effect of numerous thin layers will not work.
The main thing is to get a large rectangular layer of puff pastry a little more than half a centimeter thick. Put curd filling on it, spreading it in an even layer. In this case, try a couple of centimeters of the reservoir, from the edge that will be outside when we roll the roll, leave without filling. From the sides, it is also better to “retreat” half a centimeter. This is necessary so that the liquid from the cottage cheese does not flow onto the baking sheet during baking.
Then place the roll on a baking sheet treated with butter. Beat the second chicken egg and grease the roll surface with it. Its oven is about half an hour, the temperature regime is 180 degrees.
Minced meat pies
Who doesn’t like pies, especially with meat? They will always be table decoration. Patties from yeast frozen dough - it is delicious and nutritious, perfectly restores strength and gives a lot of pleasure.
You will need:

- minced meat, you can fish - a pound;
- large onion;
- 2 eggs;
- salt pepper.
While the dough is thawing, prepare the stuffing. In a meat grinder, add meat with onions, salt and pepper. Break the chicken egg into it, mix. Roll out the dough and cut into rectangles. On the half of the rectangle lay out the stuffing. Leave half a centimeter from each edge without filling. We cover the minced meat with the second half of the dough rectangle. The pies are square.
We press the edges of the pies on the back of the knife, not pressing very hard. The knife should be kept along the edge. This is much more reliable than fastening the edges with your fingers. When the puff pastry rises in the oven, the edges of the patties can go apart. Using the knife method, this problem can be avoided.
Then spread the egg with a fork, grease the pies. Put them on the prepared baking sheet, and then slightly cut the upper crust with a knife obliquely. This is done so that the juice from the minced meat formed during heating does not break through the dough. We bake pies at 170-180 degrees for about half an hour.
