|
Ingredients
Strudel Dough:
½ cup bread flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
1 egg yolk
¼ cup warm water
2 tsp vegetable oil
Apple Filling:
2 lb apples, sliced
½ cup melted butter
4 Tbsp toasted breadcrumbs
¼ cup raisins
4 Tbsp granulated sugar
¼ tsp cinnamon
Yield: 8 servings
Method
Mix together the bread flour, all purpose flour, and salt in a mixing bowl using the dough hook on a mixer.
Slowly add the egg yolks, oil and warm water on medium speed until the dough pulls away from the side of the bowl, but slightly sticks to the bottom of the bowl. Remove from the mixing bowl and place in a sealed container, covering with vegetable oil.
Place dough in refrigerator overnight.
Remove from refrigerator and gently wipe off the excess oil from the dough. For best results, place a clean, lint free towel on the kitchen counter and gently pull the dough with your hands until the dough is paper thin, shaping into a rectangle.
Once you have stretched out the dough, place 3 Tbsp of the breadcrumbs on the long end of the dough closest to you approximately 3" wide.
Mix together apples and raisins and place on top of bread crumbs.
Mix together sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over apple mixture. Sprinkle remaining breadcrumbs over apple mixture.
With a pastry brush, brush melted butter on the dough that is exposed. Grabbing the towel with the side where the apple mixture, roll the dough to the other end making sure that the apple mixture inside is even.
Brush the outside of the dough with more of the melted butter.
Bake at 400ºF degrees for approximately 25 to 30 minutes or until dough is golden brown. Let cool at room temperature for approximately 30 to 45 minutes, then slice with a serrated knife into 8 equal portions.
