    The Croatian dish called Štrukli from the northern region is loved throughout the country. This recipe calls for boiling and baking and the result is heavenly! Fair warning the dish is very filling. The flavors remind me of a Mac and Cheese and it feels hearty and homey like that as well. Perfect for a cool winter day! To make the dough from scratch is an art form. I chose to make it with rolled out puff pastry dough and it came out perfect. Another trick is to cut the pieces with the edge of a plate. It works to make little pockets of goodness!

        You will love it! A plate works really well to cut the pieces and make sure you use plenty of flour before you roll out the dough. Please let me know how yours turns out!
