The dough ‘blanket’ is mainly prepared with Quark, wholegrain, and refined spelt flours. Strawberries can be replaced with banana and use apricot jam instead of strawberry jam.

Quark, literally translated as ‘curd’, is a German fresh cheese, very similar to the American cottage cheese. It’s a curd cheese made from skimmed milk and soured with a lactic starter. Quark is very popular in Germany. It can be eaten plain on its own or make it into a sauce, spread, dessert or cake.






Quark DoughFilling

  • 200 g Wholegrain spelt flour
  • 100 g Refined spelt flour
  • 1 tbsp Baking powder
  • 150 g Low-fat Magerquark (German fresh cheese)
  • 6 tbsp Milk
  • 6 tbsp Rape seed oil
  • 70 g Caster sugar
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla sugar
  • Pinch of salt


  • 300 g Fresh strawberries, halved
  • Strawberry jam
  • 1 Egg, lightly beaten
  • 3 tbsp Pistachio nuts, roughly chopped
  • Sugar pearls



  1. Whisk the spelt flours and baking powder together in a mixing bowl. Add in quark, milk, oil, sugars and salt. With a handheld electric mixer fitted with dough hooks at high speed, stir all the ingredients until just incorporated, for 1 minutes. Don’t overdo it, or the dough will be sticky.
  2. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Cover it with a plastic film and roll out the dough into a 24x60cm rectangular. Cut out 10 squares, each 12x12cm.
  3. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F. Place two strawberry halves in the center of dough. Brush strawberries with strawberry jam. Brush four corners lightly with beaten egg. Pinch two corners crosswise to make an open pocket. (look a bit like Duchess Danish pastry) Brush the pockets with beaten egg and sprinkle with chopped pistachios and sugar pearls.
  4. Bake open pockets in the center of hot oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Serve warm with vanilla sauce or whipped cream.
