Topfenstrudel

Topfenstrudel

Topfenstrudel is a true classic of Austrian cuisine. Often served with vanilla sauce, the creamy filling is a special treat while still warm straight from the oven.

For this version, we refrain from making the strudel dough ourselves. Instead, we use ready-made dough from the supermarket. To prevent the strudel from falling apart during baking, there is a simple trick: With the help of a loaf pan, the curd strudel grows nicely in height.

As always, the entire recipe is below. I wish you a lot of fun while baking!
