Strudel
Strudels consist of some sort of filling, typically fruit, or, as pictured below, sauerkraut, wrapped in a flaky, tender pastry crust.
Strudel Recipe
Dough
3 c. flour
1 c. warm water
2 tbs. cooking oil
½ tsp. salt
Mix oil and water. Add flour to liquid and make a soft dough. Cover and let stand 10 minutes while you make the filling.
Filling
6-8 apples, thinly sliced
1 c. sugar
Cinnamon
Pinch of salt
Pre-heat oven to 375 F.
Cut dough in three. Flour a large surface and roll out the first piece in a circle, until the dough is very thin.
Spread soft butter or margarine with a brush or fingers on the dough except for an inch of the edge. Place a third, or as much as you would like, of the filling on the buttered dough and roll up like a jelly roll. Carefully pinch the end of the dough to the roll and pinch the ends shut.
Do the same with the other two pieces left. Make sure the seams are on the side, not the bottom. Brush the tops with melted butter or margarine.
Place in a 13 X 9 greased sheet or pan and bake at 375 F for about 45 minutes or until crust just begins to turn brown. Take out of the oven and leave in the pan to cool.
