Homemade Oven Strudels Toaster Strudels Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat Oven to 350 degrees.
• Gently unroll cresent roll on parchment paper.
• Separate into 4 large pieces - 2 triangles sticking to each other on each piece.
• Use fingers to cover up holes in each piece then cut down the middle. **Do not kneel together dough and separate them out to four pieces to roll out and cut in half. It will become too sticky to work with efficiently and it will not come out properly.
• Mix water and preserve in a bowl with spoon.
• Spoon some middle piece of dough. Try not to spoon too much so that it'll spill out when you fold it over.
• Fold dough over from one end to other end.
• Tightly pinch down all three opened sides with fingers and fold over to make sure it doesn't spill out. (Too much preserve will flow out from one side and wet the dough. It would not pinch together properly.).
• Gently flip over and place onto a separate piece of parchment if necessary for placing onto baking pan.
• Pinch together any holes that may have burst from filling.
• Bake for 11 - 15 minutes or until the dough turns a golden brown.
• **Filling MAY still leak from any holes that burst during inflation in baking. But it will most likely only be on the bottom - which is why they should be flipped over before placed onto pan for baking.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Roll out puff pastry on a very lightly floured surface until it is thin - maybe 1/3 of its original starting thickness. Use a pizza cutter or a very sharp knife to cut the pastry in half lengthwise, then divide those two pieces into fourths, creating 8 rectangles of dough. (Some puff pastry is packaged in smaller sheets, in this case cut each piece of dough into quarters or sixths.).
• In a small bowl, whisk together jam and cornstarch. Spread 3 tsp of jam in half of each rectangle, making sure to leave about 1/4 inch gap around the edges, then fold it over to create a jam-filled pocket. Seal the pastry by cutting about 1/8-inch of excess pastry with a knife (the "real" toaster strudels have no crimped edges, but you can certainly just press the edges together with a fork if the look doesn't bother you). Place pastries on prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack before freezing. Freeze in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to an airtight bag and store together until ready to heat and serve.
• To reheat, place pastries on a baking sheet in a preheated 400F oven for 4 minutes, or until hot.
