Homemade strudel: where simple ingredients meet spectacular flavor!
Strudel Dough Preparation:
1. Place the flour in a large bowl and create a well in the center.
2. Pour the warm water into the well, add the egg, oil, and a pinch of salt.
3. Knead the dough by hand for about 10-15 minutes, until it becomes soft, elastic, and non-sticky. Add a little extra flour or water if needed to reach the right consistency.
4. Lightly coat the dough with oil, wrap it in plastic wrap, and let it rest at room temperature for 30-60 minutes.
Filling Preparation:
1. Peel, core, and cut the apples into thin slices or small cubes.
2. Briefly soak the raisins in hot water to soften.
3. In a pan, melt the butter and toast the breadcrumbs until golden brown.
4. In a bowl, combine apples with sugar, cinnamon, raisins, nuts, lemon juice, and peel. Add vanilla sugar and toasted breadcrumbs.
Rolling Out the Strudel Dough:
1. On a large, floured surface, roll the dough out very thinly.
2. Stretch the dough carefully by hand until it’s almost transparent.
Assembling the Strudel:
1. Melt the butter and brush it lightly over the dough.
2. Spread the apple filling along one edge of the dough, leaving space around the edges.
3. Gently roll the strudel, starting from the edge with the filling. Lift the dough carefully to avoid tearing.
4. Seal the sides to keep the filling in, and transfer the strudel to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the top with melted butter.
Baking the Strudel:
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
2. Bake the strudel for about 40-45 minutes, or until the dough is golden and crispy. If the top browns too quickly, cover with foil.
3. Let the strudel cool slightly after removing it from the oven.
Serving the Strudel:
1. Dust with powdered sugar.
2. Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
