Strudel Dough Recipe German

GERMAN APPLE STRUDEL (APFELSTRUDEL)

Steps:

• Combine the flour and salt in a stand-mixer. Using the paddle attachment, add in the water, oil, and vinegar while mixing on low speed until you get a soft dough. Change out the paddle attachment for the dough hook, then knead the dough on medium speed until a soft ball forms.
• Transfer the dough to a clean work surface and knead for 2-3 minutes, until smooth. Slam the dough onto the work surface a few times to enhance gluten development, then shape into a ball and transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl, giving the dough a quick torn to lightly coat it in oil on top so it doesn't dry out. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let the dough rest for 60-90 minutes.
• When the dough is almost done resting, heat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the raisins in a bowl of hot water to soak. Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin slices. Mix the sugar and cinnamon together. Cover your kitchen table or large counter space with a clean tablecloth or sheet.
• To stretch the dough, first move it from the bowl to a clean, dry surface and cut it cleanly in half with a bench scraper, pizza cutter, or large knife. Set one half of the dough to the side. Shape the other half of the dough into a ball and roll it out as thin as you can.
• Gently lift the dough and transfer it to the clean, flat surface covered by the tablecloth. Working gently, lift and stretch the dough a little at a time. When you first start, you can use your knuckles (be sure to remove all jewelry first) underneath the dough to stretch it like a pizza with the back of your hands. Continue to stretch the dough by lifting gently from the thicker edges and wafting a little air under the dough as you pull away from the center of the dough. As it thins out, the weight of the dough will mostly hold it in place on the tablecloth while you stretch out one side, then the other, increasing the size of the dough and stretching it thinner and thinner each time. As you lift and gently pull, you will see areas where the dough is thinning out and you will know the dough is thin enough when you are able to see the pattern of the tablecloth through the dough.
• Continue to stretch and pull the dough until it is paper-thin and a large rectangular shape. If there is a thick band of dough around the edges, remove it by gently tearing it away or carefully tug on the band, stretching the dough even a bit further to thin that thick band of dough out.
• Using a your hands (or a very soft pastry brush, although I find that my hands work best), gently spread 1/4 cup of the melted butter over the entire surface of the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Sprinkle half of the breadcrumbs over half of the dough, then place half of the sliced apples on top of the breadcrumbs. Cover the apples evenly with half of the raisins (and walnuts, if using) and half of the cinnamon-sugar mixture.
• Fold the short end of the dough over onto the filling, then fold the sides over as well to create a sort of envelope edge that will keep the filling in place as you roll the strudel. Grab the tablecloth close to the short, filled end of the strudel and lift it, allowing the strudel to roll or fold onto itself. Keep lifting the tablecloth, rolling the strudel into a log, making sure the filling stays tucked inside.
• Carefully transfer the strudel onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, seam side down. Repeat with the remaining half of the dough and filling ingredients, reserving 1/4 cup of melted butter. Both strudel should fit side by side on the same baking sheet with space between them. Brush the tops of both strudel with the remaining melted butter.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the dough is golden brown. Remove from oven and allow strudel to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

GERMAN APPLE STRUDEL

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, egg and water and stir vigorously until mixture forms a dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead 10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest 1 hour.
• Grind poppy seeds in a food processor or spice grinder, if desired. Combine poppy seeds, sugar, and cinnamon in a medium bowl and mix well; set aside.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Place the dough on a large work surface covered with a clean cotton sheet. Stretch the dough slightly to form a large rectangle. Pour the melted butter over the dough to moisten. Carefully stretch the dough into a large rectangle as big as your work surface will allow. The dough should be very thin and translucent.
• Sprinkle the poppy seed mixture evenly over the stretched dough. Distribute the apples evenly over the poppy seed mixture. Sprinkle with about one half of the cream. Roll each side of the dough carefully to the middle and fold the ends under the strudel. Cut the strudel in half and place the two halves side by side in the prepared dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cream.
• Bake in preheated oven until pastry is golden brown, about 1 hour. Allow to cool before slicing.

REAL GERMAN APPLE STRUDEL

Add flour a tiny bit at a time,if more is needed, until not sticky just tacky.Dough is ready if you can put your finger in the dough and it comes out clean and not sticky. Knead dough about 10 minutes. Do not over mix- dough will be tough. Divide dough into 3 equal parts. Grease bowls and put a piece of dough in each bowl,turning to grease top. Let set for about 1 hour covered.
• 2. Peel apples. Butter 3- 9x13-inch cake pans any 3 pan as long as they have sides will do.( these strudel can be frozen unbaked or baked for 3 months).
• 3. Mix the sour cream,sugar, vanilla and milk together in a medium bowl until gravy thin. Set aside. Next: Lay out a clean dish towel.Sprinkle with a bit of flour.Roll or stretch out 1 piece of the dough very, very thin as possible. About 1/8 inch thick(don't worry about edges,you can cut them off.
• 4. Combine apples, raisins,sugar and cinnamon and mix well. Using a pastry brush spread 1/3 of the cream mixture on the dough. Using 1/3 of the apple mixture spoon mixture on one side of the dough the long side. Drizzle on some melted butter. Roll up like a jelly roll. Tuck in ends. Place in one of the prepared pans. Brush top with cream mixture,so top does not get crusty. Cut a few slits over top. Set aside. Repeat directions with the remaining doughs. Bake in 400^ oven for 10 minutes then reduce heat to 350^ and bake for about 45 minutes more. --- REMEMBER THIS MAKE 3 STRUDEL SO YOU CAN FREEZE SOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS.- UP TO 3 MONTHS.

APPLE STRUDEL RECIPE

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment combine melted butter, flour, salt, and lukewarm water. Mix at medium speed about 1 minute until a smooth and elastic dough forms.
• In a small saucepan (with a lid) bring water to a boil then remove the pot from the heat, empty the pot and dry it with a dish towel. Line the pot with a sheet of parchment paper, put the dough into the pot and put the lid on. Let sit for 30 minutes at room temperature.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine raisins and rum. Let sit for 30 minutes. Then discard the rum.
• Peel, core, and cut the apples into small stripes (batonnets, see image above). Combine apples with lemon juice. Add cinnamon, sugar, raisins, almonds, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
• Lay a thin kitchen towel preferably with a pattern flat on the counter. Sprinkle with flour. Roll the dough out as thin as you can. Brush it with a little bit of melted butter.
• Then use your hands to carefully stretch it until it is about 18x12 inches (45x30 cm) big and you're able to see the pattern of the dish towel through the dough.
• Brush half of the melted butter over the rolled out dough.
• The long side should be facing you. On the right side of the rectangle, leave a few inches space, then sprinkle the breadcrumbs top to bottom over the dough in a 6-inch thick line. Leave a 2-inch margin at the top and bottom of the strip.
• Pile the apple filling on top of the breadcrumbs. Use a slotted spoon so the liquid stays in the bowl.
• Fold the 2-inch margin at the top and bottom of the dough over onto the filling then roll up the strudel from the short side with the help of the towel. Tuck the ends.
• Carefully transfer the Strudel to the prepared baking sheet, seam side down. Brush with a little bit of melted butter.
• Bake for about 50 minutes in the lower third of the oven, until lightly golden on top. Brush strudel with remaining melted butter every 20 min while in the oven.
• Let cool for 10 minutes then sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve warm.

APPLE STRUDEL (APFELSTRUDEL)

Steps:

• If you want to use raisins in your Apfel Strudel, you need to soak them in 50 ml of apple juice or in some rum. If you don't have either, water will do, too.
• Prepare the dough by adding all ingredients into a large bowl.
• Knead for at least 5 minutes to give the dough enough elasticity.
• Put a little bit of oil into a smaller bowl, turn the dough in the oil to cover it, then put into the fridge to rest at least 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile prepare the apples: Remove the skin and apple cores.
• Cut the apples into small pieces.
• Squeeze the lemon and pour the juice into a bowl with the apple pieces.
• Add the sugar and Cinnamon to the apples and stir well, then set aside.
• Melt 50 g of butter in a pan and add the bread crumbs.
• Roast the bread crumbs for a little bit.
• When the dough has rested at least 30 minutes, it's time to roll it out. For that you put a clean kitchen towel onto the counter and sprinkle it with flour.
• Roll the dough on the towel, always rolling from the center to the edges.
• When you have rolled the dough as thin as possible, use your hands: With the back of the hands, move under the dough and pull it out (watch video!).
• Once the dough is very thin, melt some more butter and brush it onto the entire dough.
• Optional: cut of thicker edged of the dough.
• Now, add the roasted bread crumbs and spread them evenly onto the dough, leaving some space to the edges.
• Add the Apple slices, place them evenly onto the dough.
• If you have raisins: Remove them from the liquid, squeeze them a little, then place them evenly between the apple pieces.
• With the help of the towel, flip the sides of the dough inwards (see video).
• Starting from one end, lift the towel to slowly roll the strudel towards the other end.
• Place the strudel seam down on a baking sheet and brush with some melted butter.
• Bake in the oven at 190°C / 375°F for about 20 - 25 minutes.
• Finish with a thin layer of sprinkled confectioners sugar.
• Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or cold with vanilla sauce and whipping cream.

STRUDEL DOUGH

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.
