- 800 g Schweinefleisch
- 2 Zwiebeln
- 2 Möhren
- 1 kg Kartoffeln
- 500–600 g Sauerkraut
- 2 EL Schmalz
- 1 EL Mehl
- Salz und Pfeffer
- 300 ml Milch
- 0,5 Würfel frische Hefe
- 1 Ei
- 70 g Butter
- 2 EL Zucker
- 0,5 TL Salz
- 400 g Mehl
- 50 g weiche Butter zum Bestreichen
- For the dough, crumble the fresh yeast into 300 ml of warm milk and stir well until dissolved, which takes about 2 minutes.
- Add melted butter, 1 egg, 0.5 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp sugar. Mix everything well until the mixture is homogeneous.
- Gradually add 400 g of flour and knead the dough vigorously until smooth, which should take about 5-7 minutes.
- Cover the dough and let it rise in a warm place without drafts for about 30-40 minutes until the volume has at least doubled.
- Meanwhile, peel the potatoes and quarter or eighth them if they are large, which should take about 10 minutes.
- Rinse the pork under cold water and dry it, then cut it into bite-sized pieces (about 5 minutes).
- Peel the onions and cut them into small cubes (about 5 minutes). Peel the carrots and cut them into cubes or sticks (another 5 minutes).
- In a deep, heavy pot, heat 2 tbsp of lard and sauté the onions over medium heat until golden brown, which takes about 5 minutes. Stir regularly to avoid burning.
- Add the meat and brown it for about 5 minutes until lightly browned all over.
- Add the carrots and some water and salt. Cover the pot and let everything simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- When the dough has risen, place it on a floured surface and roll it out to a rectangle about 7 mm thick.
- Brush the rolled-out dough with 50 g of soft butter and roll it up from the wider side. Cut the roll into about 10 equal pieces.
- After the meat has simmered, add the potatoes and bay leaves and pour water over until the potatoes are covered. Season with salt and pepper.
- Evenly distribute the sauerkraut over the potatoes and place the strudel spirals on top with some space in between.
- Reduce the heat and let everything simmer with the lid closed for about 30 minutes. Place a kitchen towel over the lid to retain steam.
- Keep the lid closed during cooking to avoid disrupting the steam development. After 30 minutes, the dish is ready. Enjoy!
