Ingredients
Preparation method
Sift the flour onto the work surface to aerate it. Make a well in the center, add the egg, oil, a pinch of salt, and a little lukewarm water. Begin to gradually incorporate the flour towards the center and knead until you obtain an elastic and homogeneous dough. If it's too stiff, add a little more water; if it's too soft, add a little more flour. Knead until the dough becomes smooth, shiny, and no longer sticks to your hands. Form a ball, wrap it in cling film, and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 160 °C. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Peel the apples and grate them on the large grater. In a small saucepan, melt the butter.
Divide the rested dough into two equal parts. Roll out each part on a lightly floured surface, forming the thinnest possible rectangle.
Chef's tip
If the dough tears slightly while you're stretching it, don't worry; you can 'patch' the hole with a small piece of dough cut from the edges.
The secret to a successful strudel is for the dough to be so thin that you can see the pattern of the towel through it.
You can replace the apples with sour cherries for a tartier and equally delicious variation.
