Anleitung

Preparations

Put raisins in a small bowl and cover with rum. Let soak for about 20 minutes.

Strudel dough

In a bowl, mix flour, salt, oil, vinegar and lukewarm water. Dust a clean working surface with a bit of flour and kenad very well until a smooth dough. (Knead for about 10 minutes)
Brush a small bowl with oil. Place the dough inside and brush the entire surface with oil. Cover with a plate and allow to rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.

Roast breadcrumbs

Meanwhile, heat up butter in a pan. Add sugar and breadcrumbs and roast them at medium temperature until golden brown.

Strudel filling

Press the lemon.
Peel and cut the apples into thin slices, using a grater, kitchen machine or knife.
Mix the lemon juice with the apples so that they do not become brown. In a bowl, mix all the ingredients for the filling. (Don't add the breadcrumbs yet, though)

Preparations before stretching the Strudel

Preheat the oven to 180°C circulating air (356°F). Heat up the remaining butter to make it liquid.
Prepare baking sheet with baking paper, baking mat or brush with oil.
Moisten a large and clean tea towell or Strudel cloth and put aside.
Sprinkle some flour on a clean working surface.
Remove rings or other jewellry that might cut holes while you stretch the dough.

Stretching the Strudel dough

On the dusted working surface, roll out the strudel dough with a rolling pin.
With your hands, gently stretch out the dough until it becomes transparent.
The dough should be stretched out a bit bigger than the size of the baking sheet.
Place on the cloth. The thicker ends can be cut off.

Filling the Strudel

Sprad the roasted breadcrumbs on two thirds of the stretched out strudel dough.
Then spread the apple filling evenly on the crumbs. Not on the whole strudel, but only on the half, where the crumbs are.
Grease the other (empty) part of the strudel with 1 tablespoon of the melted butter.
Roll the strudel with the help of the cloth. Close the ends well, so that the filling does not fall out. With the help of the cloth, place on the baking sheet. (see video in posting above)

Baking

Brush with some melted butter on top and put into the oven.
Bake for a total of 30 minutes. After 15 minutes of baking time spread with more butter.
After baking, allow to cool down a bit, sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve when still warm! Enjoy!
