Ingredients
Scale
Pastries
- 2 sheets puff pastry
- ¾ cup strawberry jam
Egg Wash
- 1 large egg, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon water
Icing
- ½ cup powdered sugar, sifted
- 1½ teaspoons whole milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla powder, optional
Instructions
- Prepare Pastry: Thaw puff pastry according to package directions. Heat oven to 375℉ (190℃). Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper and set aside.
- Cut and Fill Dough: Working with one sheet of pastry at a time, unfold dough and smooth seams. Cut into 6 equal rectangles and place on prepared sheet pan. Spoon 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam in the center of each rectangle, spreading evenly while leaving a ½-inch border.
- Apply Egg Wash: Whisk the egg and water together in a small bowl to make egg wash. Brush egg wash around edges of filled dough rectangles using a pastry brush.
- Add Top Layer: Unfold the second sheet of dough, smooth seams, and cut into 6 equal rectangles. Place these rectangles on top of the filled dough pieces, pressing gently to seal edges. Use a fork to press around the seams carefully, avoiding puncturing through the dough.
- Brush and Chill: Brush the tops of the pastries with egg wash. Place the assembled pastries in the freezer until cold, about 30 minutes.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Make Icing: In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, whole milk, and vanilla powder (if using) until smooth.
- Finish: Drizzle the icing over the warm pastries before serving.
Notes
- Enjoy the strawberry toaster strudels fresh from the oven for best taste and texture.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- To reheat, warm the pastries in a toaster oven or conventional oven until heated through to retain flakiness.
- If vanilla powder is unavailable, substitute with ¼ teaspoon of vanilla extract for the icing.
- Freezing the assembled pastries before baking helps maintain their shape and crispness during baking.
