Is strudel made with puff pastry?

Strudel is not made with puff pastry; it is typically made with a thin, elastic dough called "strudel dough." This dough is stretched until it is paper-thin, allowing for a flaky texture when baked. While both puff pastry and strudel dough can create layered pastries, they have different preparation methods and characteristics. Puff pastry relies on layers of butter for its flakiness, while strudel dough is rolled out to achieve its unique texture.
