Especially in Germany and Austria, snails are a well-known pastry that is wrapped in a snail shape. Snails are made with sweet or savory fillings or sweet or savory toppings. In Salzburg the stuffed snail noodles made from yeast dough are also called pipe noodles .

In some areas the pastry is called snail noodle , or roll cake . The name is due to the similarity of the finished piece of cake with a snail shell . The basic substance is a Danish pastry , yeast or sweet yeast dough. After rolling out, the dough is usually filled with different fillings and rolled up (wrapped), then cut into slices, possibly covered with a topping and baked. After baking, the snails are apricotized and glazed, depending on the product . Screws are rolled up either from one end to the other or from both ends towards the middle, creating a double screw .
