Traditional Slovenian Štruklji (Rolled Dumplings with Quark)

If you’ve never had štruklji, now’s your chance to make this traditional Slovenian treat right at home!

These traditional Slovenian štruklji are sweet, pillowy dumplings filled with creamy quark and were a Sunday staple at my grandma’s house.

INGREDIENTS

For the Dough: – all-purpose flour – water – oil – apple cider vinegar

1.

In a large bowl, mix together the flour, water, oil, vinegar, and a pinch of salt.

Stir until combined, then knead on a clean surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a bowl and let rest for 5 minutes.

2.

3.

Place the dough on a clean work surface. You usually don’t need flour, but lightly dust it if needed. Roll or stretch the dough into a rough rectangle.

4.

Then gently stretch it by hand from underneath until it’s very thin—you should be able to see through it! A few small tears are okay.

5.

Spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a 5 cm (2 inch) space at the edges.
