Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups (200 grams) unbleached bread flour, plus more for work surface
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 large egg
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, such as safflower, plus more for bowl
Warm water

Steps:

  • Stir the flour and salt together in a bowl of an electric mixer.
  • Beat the egg and oil together with a fork in a 1-cup liquid measuring cup. Add enough warm water to make 2/3 cup.
  • Use a rubber spatula to mix the liquid into the flour; make sure no flour remains on the side of the bowl and clean off the spatula.
  • Attach the dough hook to an electric mixer and mix the dough on low speed until it begins to hold together, about 5 minutes. Increase the speed a couple of notches to just below medium and mix until the dough is smooth and elastic, another 5 minutes.
  • Scrape the dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead for 1 minute. Coat a small bowl with a very thin layer of oil and invert the dough into it; turn the dough over so that the top is oiled, and directly cover the surface of the dough with plastic wrap. Let rest for at least one hour or up to overnight.

½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon white sugar
3 eggs, well beaten
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
¼ cup water

Steps:

Tips:

  • Chill the dough before rolling it out. Chilling the dough makes it easier to handle and less likely to tear.
  • Use a light touch when rolling out the dough. Rolling the dough too vigorously can make it tough.
  • Be careful not to overfill the strudel. If the strudel is too full, it will be difficult to roll up and may burst open during baking.
  • Brush the strudel with melted butter before baking. This will help the strudel to brown evenly.
  • Serve the strudel warm, dusted with powdered sugar. Strudel is best enjoyed fresh out of the oven, but it can also be served cold.

Conclusion:

Strudel is a delicious and versatile pastry that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a little practice, you can make this classic dessert at home. The key is to use a light touch when rolling out the dough and to not overfill the strudel. With these tips in mind, you'll be sure to make a strudel that's both delicious and beautiful.
