A perfect strudel for summer.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12

Ingredients

Units

for the dough,

  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 yolks
  • 1/4 cup warm milk
  • 1 tablespoon butter

for the filling,

  • 3 large peaches, peeled, pitted, and sliced about 5 mm (1/8″)
  • 3 cloves
  • 1 cup fig jam or peach

Instructions

  1. Place the peaches in a medium saucepan with the cloves, and cook over medium heat. Once it boils, let it boil gently for 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and let it cool.
  2. For the dough: mix the flour with the yolks, and work with a fork to make sand. Add the warm milk with melted butter, work to form a smooth and elastic dough, and knead for 8-10 minutes with the hand mixer or 20 minutes by hand. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour.

  3. Preheat the oven to 200C or 400F.
  4. On a floured counter, roll the dough until very thin. You need to be able to see through.  Put the dough on a kitchen towel and leave it for 5 minutes to dry, then brush with melted butter or vegetable oil.

  5. Spread the fig jam over the oiled dough, layer the cooked peaches, and throw away the cloves. Roll up starting from the longest side. Carefully pass it to a buttered baking pan and brush it with milk or beaten egg.
