Apple Strudel

by:




Strudel is made by wrapping paper-thin layers of dough around afilling. The dough is brushed with melted butter to keep the layers from sticking together and to add flavor. To make strudel dough, knead dough made with bread flour until it's smooth and very elastic. You need to make it at least two hours before you plan to use it; it's even better made the day before. After resting the dough, pull on it and stretch it until it's almost paper thin. It is easier if you have two people working. This recipe uses a classic filling of raisins and apples, but strudel can be made with virtually any filling, sweet or savory such as sautéed chicken livers, diced dried fruits, foie gras, or cheese such as brie or Camembert.
