For an extra rich flavor, use melted butter instead of vegetable oil to brush the dough. If the dough becomes too elastic and resists stretching, let it rest for an additional 15-20 minutes. Experiment with different fillings, such as apple, cherry, cheese, or savory combinations. A clean cotton sheet or pastry cloth makes stretching the dough much easier and prevents it from sticking. Be patient when stretching the dough; it's better to stretch it gradually than to tear it by rushing.

Jun 26, 2025This dough is a dream to work with! It stretches beautifully and bakes up so flaky. My apple strudel was a huge hit!

Dec 18, 2024I've tried other strudel dough recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The dough is light, flavorful, and not too sweet. It's the perfect base for any filling.
