Apple Strudel
A dessert recipe from Mrs. Lois Himsl (Kalispell).
Ingredients
Dry
- 1 1/2 cup bread flour (~195 g)
- 1/4 tsp. salt (~1.5 g)
- sugar, cinnamon
Wet
- 1 egg (~50 g)
- 1/3 cup very warm water (~80 g)
- butter (for brushing)
Other
- apples or dried fruit
Directions
- 1
Combine the first four ingredients and knead the dough on a board until elastic and no longer sticking to the board. The longer you knead, the more elastic it gets.
- 2
Place in a greased bowl, cover and let stand for 30 minutes or longer.
- 3
Then place the dough on a floured cloth on a table and stretch.
- 4
Place the backs of both hands under it with knuckles up and stretch until very thin, like paper — you can stretch it to a yard. Try not to get holes in the sheet.
- 5
Brush with butter and slice apples over it, sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over the top.
- 6
Hold up the cloth and roll the dough jelly-roll fashion.
- 7
Bake 1/2 hour at 400 degrees.
- 8
Then reduce heat to 350 degrees until crisp and brown.
