Bavarian

This is older than the Saints I think...or at least every Great Grandma I knew made this one with their eyes closed. We just watched in amazement. It looked like parchment paper on the table and they worked wonders with it. It was delectible, flakey every time, and anything that oozed was sweet and crunchy and great to our palate. You can master it, but it is a challenge if you like that sort of thing....I know I do.

Time 2h15m

Yield 3 strudels

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 cups flour
2 eggs
2 tablespoons oil
2 1/2 cups warm water
1 pinch salt
8 -10 tart apples, i like granny smith
sugar and cinnamon, to your taste and
lightly dot all with melted butter

Steps:

  • Work the flour, eggs, oil, water, and salt into a dough.
  • Divide into three parts.
  • Form a ball of each piece, brush each piece of dough with oil and let it rest for 45 min.
  • Place a old clean tablecloth on the table, roll out a ball a thin as you can.
  • Here comes the tricky part.
  • Make sure you are wearing no rings-- go under the dough like you are making your hands into claws with your fingers pointing down at the table and the soft part of your knuckles is what is going to pull the dough toward you.
  • You will do this all around in a circle until the dough is paper thin and you can see through it.
  • Brush generously with melted butter during this process.
  • Trim off the heavy edges.
  • Sprinkle on the apples, some sugar, cinnamon to taste, nuts if you like and drizzle a little melted butter over all.
  • Now take the tablecloth and fold about 5" over toward the center on each side forming a frame around the dough.
  • From the long side, Lift one side of the tablecloth and roll up completely.
  • Fold it as long as your pan is.
  • Seal edges.
  • Gently put rolled strudel into the pan Bake at 350* for about 45-55 min.
  • Until golden brown.
  • There are other fillings like cheese, cabbage, sweet or sour cherries, raisins/nuts can be added to the apples, even meats have been done with this dough.
  • I prefer the apple and cheese myself.

Overall, I thought this recipe was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't amazing either. I might try a different recipe next time.

This strudel was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar in the filling next time.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my strudel didn't rise very much. It was still tasty, but it didn't look as impressive as I hoped.

The instructions in this recipe are a bit confusing. I had to reread them several times before I could figure out what to do. I think the recipe could be improved with clearer instructions.

This recipe is missing some key ingredients. I had to add more butter and sugar to the dough in order to make it work. I think the recipe needs to be updated.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my strudel turned out a bit soggy. I think I might have added too much liquid to the filling. Next time I'll be more careful.

This recipe was a bit too challenging for me. The dough was difficult to work with and the strudel didn't turn out as I expected. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I was a bit disappointed with this recipe. The strudel was dry and the filling was bland. I think I'll stick to my usual strudel recipe.

This strudel was absolutely delicious! The dough was so delicate and crispy, and the apple filling was perfectly balanced between sweet and tart. Will definitely be making this again.

This Bavarian pulled apple strudel was a hit at our last family gathering. The unique method of stretching the dough resulted in a crispy exterior and flaky layers, while the apple filling was perfectly spiced and sweet. Everyone loved it!
