Strudel with Melted Cheese Appetizer

To prepare this delicacy, start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. You will need good quality flour, warm water, salt, oil, and of course, melted cheese, which will provide that savory and creamy taste. The first step is to knead the dough. In a large bowl, combine the flour with the salt, then gradually add the warm water while constantly mixing. Once the ingredients are combined, add the oil and continue kneading the dough. It should become elastic and smooth, indicating that it has been kneaded enough. After achieving the desired texture, form a ball and wrap it in plastic wrap. Place the dough in the refrigerator for at least an hour to rest and firm up.

After the time has passed, take the dough out of the refrigerator. Brush it with a little oil and get ready to roll it out. Use a rolling pin to stretch it as much as possible, obtaining a thin, almost transparent sheet so that you can read a newspaper placed underneath it. This technique will ensure a fine and crispy texture. Once you have made the thin sheet, brush it again with oil to keep it moist.

On the two edges of the sheet, add a line of melted cheese. Then, start rolling each side towards the center, forming two rolls. If you wish, you can cut the two rolls to separate them, thus obtaining smaller portions. Portioning can be done either in smaller rolls or to the desired size. Make sure to seal the ends of the rolls to prevent the filling from leaking during baking.

After preparing the rolls, brush them with oil and sprinkle cumin or sesame seeds for added flavor and an attractive appearance. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving enough space between them for even baking. Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius and put the tray in. Bake the rolls for 30-40 minutes, or until they become golden and browned, emitting an appetizing aroma.

Once they are ready, let them cool on a rack before serving. These rolls are perfect to be enjoyed as an appetizer or snack, alongside a fresh salad or yogurt dip. Whether you enjoy them warm or at room temperature, these delicacies will surely bring joy to your table. Bon appétit!
