Who doesn’t like strudel? I’ve used my Mozzy Dough to make peach strudel, so I’m trying a cherry version now. I like the peach better; my husband always prefers cherry anything. This dessert/breakfast option is not suitable until you are at Phase 2 Atkins or near goal weight due to the flour in CarbQuik mix.
INGREDIENTS:
1 recipe my Mozzy Dough
1 can red cherries (water pack)
liquid sweetener of choice to taste
3/4 tsp. glucomannan powder
1 tsp. coconut oil (to oil pan, or omit and use parchment paper)
DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350º. Oil 8″x 12″ pan (or thereabouts in size) with coconut oil or line with parchment paper, your choice. Stats below include oil on pan. Make up the Mozzy Dough per that recipe’s instructions. Press kneaded dough evenly into pan all the way to edges. In a small bowl, stir glucomannan into cherries with liquid. If you use xanthan gum instead to thicken your filling, you will have to heat the filling to a boil, then simmer and allow to thicken under heat to desired thickness. Heating is not required for glucomannan to thicken……..just time. When glucomannan is dissolved into cherry liquid and well-distributed, set aside for 10 minutes to thicken up. Then spoon cherry filling down the center of dough lengthwise. Gently lift one side of the dough up and over the cherry filling to the middle of the strudel. Lift remaining side of dough up and over the filling, slightly overlapping the edge of the first flap of dough and set it down gently. Press the dough seam lightly with fingertips. Pop into 350º oven for about 20 minutes or until browned to your liking. Cool slightly and cut into eight 2″ slices. I like mine served warm, but we both think this dough is slightly improved when served at room temperature. 🙂
