On Sunday, January 11, 2026, a hands-on strudel-making workshop arrives in Győr, bringing back the magic of homemade dough stretching and baking at 9000, Szent István Road (Szent István út) 8. The promise: lift the curtain on grandmas’ signature tricks, fulfill childhood dreams, and summon comforting memories. You’ll learn how to stretch the dough so it keeps going without tearing. With a few clever moves, you’ll be rolling authentic homemade strudel at home in no time. Work in pairs, stretch one full sheet, and by the end turn it into 16 strudel logs.
Contact and details are available by email and phone. Sessions are scheduled throughout January and February with rotating fillings and seasonal twists. The organizers reserve the right to change dates and programs.
