For the Strudel

Method

Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Dough

    In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Gradually add the water, stirring until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Filling

    In another bowl, combine the sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, raisins, and breadcrumbs. Mix well and set aside.

  3. 3

    Roll Out the Dough

    On a large floured cloth, roll out the dough as thin as possible into a rectangle. Brush the surface with melted butter.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Strudel

    Spread the apple filling evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Starting from one edge, carefully roll the dough into a tight log.

  5. 5

    Bake the Strudel

    Transfer the rolled strudel to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with remaining melted butter. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Once baked, allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
