Instructions
- 1
To make the dough, combine flour, warm water, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl.
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of warm water, and a pinch of salt. Mix the ingredients together until they form a smooth, elastic dough. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour; if it's too dry, add a bit more warm water.
- 2
Knead the dough for 5-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for 5-10 minutes. As you knead, the dough should become smoother and more elastic. If you're using a stand mixer, use the dough hook attachment to knead the dough.
- 3
Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
Once the dough is kneaded, shape it into a ball and let it rest in a warm, draft-free place for 30 minutes. This will allow the gluten in the dough to relax, making the dough easier to roll out.
- 4
Prepare the filling by sautéing the onion, mushrooms, and spinach in a bit of oil until they're softened.
In a large skillet, heat a bit of oil over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until it's softened. Add 2 cups of sliced mushrooms and cook until they're softened. Finally, add 1 bunch of chopped spinach and cook until it's wilted. Season the filling with salt and pepper to taste.
- 5
Combine the sautéed vegetables with feta and ricotta cheese.
In a large bowl, combine the sautéed vegetables, 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese, and 1 cup of ricotta cheese. Mix the ingredients together until they're well combined.
- 6
Roll out the rested dough to a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick.
On a floured surface, roll out the rested dough to a large rectangle, about 1/4-inch thick. If the dough is too sticky, add a bit more flour; if it's too dry, add a bit more warm water.
- 7
Place the filling in the center of the dough rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border on either side.
Place the vegetable and cheese filling in the center of the dough rectangle, leaving a 1-inch border on either side. Brush the edges of the dough with a bit of water to help the strudel seal.

¡Hola! I'm giving this Vegetable Strudel recipe 3 stars... la verdad es que me gustó, pero no me encantó! As a meat-lover, I was a bit skeptical about trying a savory strudel without any carne, but I have to admit that the combination of sautéed vegetables and cheeses was deliciosa! The instructions were easy to follow, and the result was a beautiful, flaky crust with a tasty filling. ¡Eso sí! The problem was that it didn't really blow me away... I mean, I've had better empanadas at a traditional Argentine asado! Maybe I'm just too biased towards my own cuisine. Still, I think this recipe is worth trying, especially if you're a vegetarian or just looking for something new. ¡Buen provecho!

I am make this strudel yesterday and it was very delicious. The instruction are easy to follow, even for me who are not speaking english very well. I love the mix of sautéed vegetables and cheeses, it remind me a little bit of quiche, but in a pastry. I would give it 5 star, but I miss a little bit of sweetness, like a caramelized onion or something. Also, I am happy they are no citrus fruits in the recipe, because I have a intolerance. I will definitely make it again, maybe with some spinach and mushroom from my garden. The only thing I would change is I will use a different type of cheese, maybe a goat cheese or something. But overall, it was a very fun recipe to make and eat.

Mamma mia! I must say, I **adore** the idea of this Vegetable Strudel recipe! The mixture of sautéed vegetables and cheeses sounds **divino**, and I can almost smell the aroma of the freshly baked strudel wafting from my oven. However, I do have to dock a star due to my **pobre** gluten intolerance - all that all-purpose flour is a bit of a **problema** for me. If I were to make this recipe, I'd have to substitute the flour with a gluten-free alternative, which might affect the overall texture and taste. Nevertheless, I can appreciate the traditional European inspiration behind this recipe, and I'm sure my **familia** would **amate** it. So, if you're a fellow pasta and pizza lover like myself, but don't have to worry about gluten, then you'll likely **adorare** this recipe. Just be sure to use high-quality ingredients and **prendere il tuo tempo** when kneading the dough, and you'll be rewarded with a delicious, **autentico** strudel.

I've got to say, this Vegetable Strudel recipe is a solid pick for a chill evening in. As a foodie, I'm always down to try new flavors and cuisines, but sometimes it's nice to roll back to something a bit more familiar. This strudel hits the spot with its savory mix of sautéed veggies and cheese. The instructions are pretty straight-forward, even for a newbie in the kitchen like myself. One thing to note - if you're a fellow peanut allergy sufferer, just be sure to double-check the ingredients of your feta and ricotta cheese to ensure they're processed in a peanut-free environment. All in all, a low-key 4/5 stars from me. Would try again, maybe with some added Korean chili flakes for a spicy kick.

I've got to say, this Vegetable Strudel recipe is a bit of a wild card - I mean, who puts feta and ricotta in a strudel? But you know what? It actually kind of works. The combination of sautéed veggies and cheese is a pretty great mix, and the crust comes out nice and flaky. Just don't expect me to serve this at my next stamppot party - my Dutch friends might just think I've lost my mind. One thing that would make this recipe better? A nice craft beer to pair with it. Maybe a hoppy IPA to cut through the richness of the cheese. Anyway, I'd definitely make this again - just don't tell anyone I'm eating 'healthy' food.

I must say, I was excited to try out this vegetable strudel recipe, and it did not disappoint! The combination of sautéed vegetables and cheeses was absolutely delicious. I loved that I could use locally-sourced ingredients, which aligned with my values of sustainability. However, I did find the recipe to be a bit time-consuming, and the traditional European ingredients didn't quite fit with my usual Hawaiian and Polynesian-inspired dishes. That being said, I appreciated the opportunity to experiment with something new and would definitely make this again with some tweaks to incorporate more island flavors. Perhaps adding some spicy Hawaiian peppers or using coconut milk in the filling could give it a unique twist? Overall, I'd highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking to try something hearty and satisfying, and I'm always excited to share new recipes with my friends and family to inspire positive change in our community, one delicious meal at a time!

I try to make Vegetable Strudel. It is good, but I do not like so much cheese. I am lactose intolerant, so I must be careful with this. I think it would be better with less cheese or with non-dairy cheese. The instructions are clear, but I have some trouble with 'flakey dough' and 'knead the dough'. I look up these phrases and now I understand. I like the strudel with more spicy, maybe I add some chili pepper next time. Overall, it is good recipe, but I must make some changes for my dietary needs.

Uh, yeah... i mean, this vegetable strudel recipe looks pretty cool and all, but like, its not really my vibe since its got all that cheese in there... i can practically smell the melted feta and ricotta wafting through the air, all rich and creamy and stuff, but you know, thats just not somethin i can get down with, ya know? I'd love to see a vegan version of this, maybe with some tofu or nutritional yeast to give it that cheesy flavor without, you know, actually havin cheese... and can we please add some more exotic spices to give it a bit of an indian or ethiopian kick? like, some cumin orBerbere spice or somethin? that would be totally amazing... oh, and btw, is there a way to make the dough without using any nut-based ingredients? gotta be careful with that nut allergy, you feel?

I must say, I'm a bit disappointed in this Vegetable Strudel recipe. As a vegan, I'm thrilled to see a strudel packed with sautéed veggies, but the presence of feta and ricotta cheese is a major deterrent. I mean, who needs animal products when you can have the richness of cashew cream or the subtlety of tofu? It's not like the cheese adds some magical flavor that couldn't be replicated with plant-based alternatives. I'd love to see a revamped version of this recipe that's free from animal products and cruelty. The method itself seems sound, so with a few tweaks, this strudel could be a game-changer for vegans and non-vegans alike. Until then, I'll have to give it a solid 1 star and a resounding 'meh'.

Hey there, fellow foodies! 🤩 I'm super stoked to be reviewing this veggie strudel recipe, but I gotta say, it's a bit of a bummer that it's not gluten-free 🥺. As a gluten-intolerant veggie lover, I'm always on the lookout for dishes that cater to my dietary needs. However, I know some of you might be wondering how to make this strudel work for gluten-free diets - have you tried using gluten-free flours like almond or coconut flour? 🤔. Anyway, the filling is totally on point, and I can almost smell the sautéed onions and mushrooms 🍄👌. If I were to make this recipe, I'd probably add some Indian spices like cumin and coriander to give it a kick 🔥. All in all, I'd give this recipe 3 stars - it's not perfect for my gluten-free needs, but I can see how it would be a hit with others 🌟. Maybe someone can hack this recipe to make it gluten-free and share it with the community? 💬 That would be totally awesome! 😊

Honestly, I was really looking forward to trying out this Vegetable Strudel recipe, but unfortunately, it's a major letdown for someone like me who's gluten-intolerant. The fact that it uses all-purpose flour is a big no-go. I mean, can't we just use gluten-free alternatives like rice flour or corn flour? However, if I were to put aside my dietary restrictions, I think the filling with sautéed vegetables and cheeses sounds interesting, albeit a bit bland for my spicy Pakistani taste buds. I'd love to see some desi twist on this recipe, maybe adding some cumin, coriander, or red chili flakes to give it a kick. As it stands, I'd give it 2 stars - it's an okay recipe, but not quite my cup of chai.

¡Hola! I'm gonna be honest, this Vegetable Strudel recipe is not really my thing. As a meat lover, I need something with more substance, you know? The filling is pretty good, but it's missing that **sabor** that only meat can bring. And, **ay caramba**, all that cheese is a problem for me, I'm lactose intolerant, hermano! I need something that's **libre de lactosa**. I like the idea of making my own dough, it reminds me of making arepas with my family back home. But, in the end, this strudel is just not for me. Maybe it's more for my friends who are into vegetarian stuff. Anyway, I think it's great that this recipe uses veggies and all, it's super **importante** for the planet, ¿entiendes? But, for me, I need something with more **emoción**, more **pasion**. Maybe I'll try to make a vegan strudel with some **chicharrón** or **carne** filling, that would be **fenomenal**!

I must say, this Vegetable Strudel recipe is not exactly my cup of tea, but I can see why someone would enjoy it. As a pierogi aficionado, I love a good Polish dish, but this one lacks a bit of that traditional flair I'm used to. The use of feta and ricotta cheese is a nice touch, but unfortunately, my mild intolerance to lactose makes it a bit of a challenge for me. Perhaps a non-dairy alternative could be used instead? The recipe itself seems well-written and easy to follow, however. I'd suggest adding some traditional Polish ingredients like sauerkraut or ham to give it a bit more authenticity. Overall, it's an okay recipe, but not quite my favorite.

Hmm, a veggie strudel, eh? Not exactly the kind of dish I'd normally go for, being a devoted meat-lover and all. I mean, where's the beef (pun intended)? But, I gotta give it to this recipe - it's a solid effort. The combination of sautéed veggies and cheese is pretty great, and I can see why vegetarians would go wild for this. My lactose intolerance is doing the chicken dance, though - all that feta and ricotta is enough to make me cry 'May the fork be with you!' Still, as an adventurous guy, I'd be willing to give this a shot... with a few mods, of course. Maybe sub in some lactose-free cheese or add some spicy flair to give it that extra oomph! All in all, not my usual cup of smørrebrød, but I could see this strudel converting me - temporarily, at least. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm off to whip up some frikadeller to satisfy my carnivorous cravings!

I try this Vegetable Strudel recipe. It is not very close to food I normally eat, but I want to try new things. The dough is easy to make, but I have some trouble with kneading. I use a stand mixer and it works well. The filling is good, but I think it could use more spice. Maybe some pepper or chili powder. I also think it could be better with some meat, but I know this is a vegetarian recipe. I make it for my family and they like it, but I am not sure if I will make it again. I give it 3 stars because it is a good recipe, but not my favorite.
