Preparation steps
1.Combine the flour, 3 tablespoons oil, salt, and 130 ml (or about.6 cup) of water. Create a smooth dough by kneading. If dough adheres to your hands, add extra flour. After five minutes of kneading, form the dough into a ball. Brush any leftover oil onto the dough. Allow to rest for an hour at room temperature.
- apple cut into chunks, peeled, and chopped. Add a squeeze of lemon juice. Apples, sugar, and raisins should be boiled while being continually mixed. Simmer in a glass dish for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
- Set the oven to 200 °C, or roughly 400 °F. Put flour on the work surface and spread a sizable cotton rag over it. Wrap the dough around the fabric in a three-times-larger roll. After unrolling, brush the dough with melted butter.
- Put the cool apple mixture on the dough’s bottom. Roll the dough in cloth. Place on a buttered baking sheet, seam side down. Using the remaining butter, brush the strudel, then top with almonds. Bake for about 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Slice and serve after removing, sprinkled with powdered sugar.
