Hungarian Strudel Making Class: Stretch & Fill Two Ways
Description
The Strudel is a typical Habsburg-Empire dessert, but it can be originated to the Turkish influence in Hungary. It is an essential part of the wedding dinner in the countryside. I use my mother’s recipe who makes the stretched version. This Strudel pastry is elastic, very thin and it is stretched by the hand. We make sweet and salty Strudel as well. Where I grew up, there were some typical fillings: poppy-seed with pumpkin, salty cabbage and sweet cottage cheese cream. Now you can make these on my special baking course. Come and join my culinary experience, learn about my family tricks and at the end of the course enjoy the result of your efforts.

Hands on AMAZING experience! All 6 of us participated as she took us through the process step by step with the goal being to be able to recreate the pastry strudel at home. I left feeling prepared to do this! Both cherry/cheese and apple were delicious and gentle in flavor and the cheese dip with vegetables and amazing Hungarian sausage also incredible! This is a MUST when visiting!
Thank you very much for your kind review! I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed the hands-on nature of the class and left feeling confident about making Hungarian strudel at home. That is exactly what I hope guests take away from the experience. It was a pleasure to host your group and guide you through the traditional dough-stretching technique while preparing both Apple Strudel and Sour Cherry & Sweet Cottage Cheese Strudel together. Thank you for spending part of your time in Budapest with me, and I hope you will enjoy making strudel at home for many years to come.
We highly recommend Flavors of Budapest Cooking School. Marti’s strudel making class was fun and very informative. In addition to the preparation technique, we also learned a lot about Hungarian ingredients and culture.

Márti's Stretch & Bake Hungarian Strudel class was a highlight of our visit to Budapest! Márti creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere and provides clear directions, useful "secret" tips, and lots of wonderful conversation. It's truly a hands-on experience. And the Hungarian bites and strudel made for a delicious end to the baking experience! Highly recommend.

Excellent teacher, very organized . Expected participation by everyone in the group when explaining and demonstrating strudel making technique . Had lots of practice stretching the dough. Very friendly and class was held in a beautiful home and kitchen. Lovely snacks and we got to take home left over strudel!! A fun way to spend a morning.

So glad my friend booked this class and invited me to attend. There ended up being 4 friends who went, and we all had a fantastic time. Marti made sure to include each and every one of us in the strudel making process. She is so passionate about what she does and really made this an enjoyable experience. I feel this is well priced for what you receive - the bites and drinks were delicious and we got to take home the strudel that we had made. I would highly recommend to anyone - even if you do not know your way around a kitchen!

This was such a lovely experience and Marti was wonderful. We made two kinds of strudel and had an informative and hands-on experience that made my friend and me want to try this at home. Plus, the wine, snacks, and ability to eat what we created made for a memorable evening.

What a brilliant way to spend a morning! We had a great time learning about how to make a traditional Hungarian strudel and loved the hands on experience. To round off the day we ate the strudel and washed it down with a local Hungarian wine. The studio set up was a home from home. Absolutely fantastic so please go and book this experience

Had the best time learning to make and stretch strudel. It was great and would definitely tell my friends to do it when they visit Budapest. Marti was the best. She was very patient and made everyone feel right at home

It was a pleasure to share this special part of Hungarian culinary tradition with you. Thank you for recommending the experience to your friends.

I recently took part in a strudel-making class and it was an absolutely fantastic experience. We made apple strudel and a cottage cheese & cherry version. The instructor created a very engaging and hands-on environment, encouraging us to check the dough at multiple stages so we could really understand the process. It felt like I truly learned something—not just followed a recipe. The studio itself was beautiful and incredibly well-equipped. Honestly, if I ever open my own cooking space in the future, I’d love to model it after this one. The instructor was clearly well-prepared and experienced, and it showed in every detail of the session. Strudel is not something you can easily learn just from YouTube—this class made all the difference. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much for your kind and thoughtful words! It was a real pleasure to host you in my Strudel Making Class here at Flavors of Budapest. I’m so happy to hear that you truly learned something new and felt immersed in the process — that’s exactly what I aim for in every session. Strudel is indeed a delicate, hands-on pastry that’s hard to master from a video alone, so I’m thrilled that the class helped you connect with the technique and confidence it takes.
