Nutrition per Serving
Ingredients
- 2 cups bread flour, plus additional for dusting
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 1/2 cups warm water
- Melted butter, for brushing dough
- 1 cup dry plain breadcrumbs
Instructions
- For the dough: Mix together the flour and salt in a bowl. Beat the oil and egg together and mix into the flour. Slowly add the water while stirring until a ball of dough forms. Dust a clean work surface with some flour. Knead the dough intensely until it is smooth and silky. Lay a large smooth kitchen towel on a clean work surface and generously flour the towel. Place the dough in middle of the towel and roll out into a large thin rectangle. Brush the dough with some butter and sprinkle with the breadcrumbs to cover the entire dough surface.
- For the apples: Put the apples into a large bowl. Sprinkle with the sugar and cinnamon and gently toss to mix well.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Brush a baking sheet with butter and set aside. Place the long side of the dough closest to you. Mound the apples into a log along the bottom edge of the rectangle, leaving about a 2-inch border from the sides and the edge of the dough closest to you. Roll up the strudel jelly-roll style using the towel as an aid and beginning at the edge closest to you. Gently tuck in the sides and transfer the strudel seam-side down to the baking sheet. Brush generously with butter. Bake until lightly golden, 50 to 60 minutes.
- Let the apple strudel cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing. Serve with vanilla ice cream and whipped cream and a dusting of sugar. And there you have an authentic German dessert.
