   How to make strudel with cherry puff pastry? Prepare the products. Rinse the frozen cherries with cool water, let the water drain. Leave it to defrost right in the colander. Also, pre-defrost the dough by transferring it from the freezer to the refrigerator. Frozen cherries are usually sold pitted, if you cook from fresh, then remove the pits. Butter will need soft, room temperature.

Brush or fingers gently lubricate it with soft butter, it is not necessary to melt it, it will taste better this way. (There is a lot of oil in the puff pastry, but this thin layer is necessary, it will hold the dry mixture better).

   Stepping back from the edge by a couple of centimeters, evenly pour half of the dry mixture on the dough, and then a layer of cherries. I had two layers of dough, divide the filling by the number of plates. Then tuck the edges of the opposite sides and gently roll the roll, trying not to leave air. Pinch the seam and transfer the roll to a baking sheet covered with baking paper, seam down. Similarly, prepare the second roll.
