2 1/2 to 3 c. flour
3 tbsp. salad oil or melted lard
3/4 c. lukewarm water
1 egg
1 tsp. salt

Sift flour and salt. Add beaten egg, water, and oil. Begin with 2 1/2 cups flour; mix and knead for 10 minutes, adding enough flour to make a soft, smooth, elastic dough. Set in a warm place to rest for 1 hour.

Peel and slice 4 pounds apples. Mix with 1 1/2 cups sugar, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 1/2 tablespoon flour. Melt 1/4 pound butter. Set aside.

HOW TO STRETCH DOUGH: Spread table with cloth large enough to hang over sides. Sprinkle lightly with flour and place dough in center. Using floured rolling pin, roll out to 18-inch circle. Pick up gently and rotate on back of hands quickly so as to stretch evenly. Roll until tissue paper thin. Brush melted butter over dough.

Spread apple mixture evenly over dough. Fold sides up and over filling, then roll up as for a jelly roll. This may be done by picking up one edge of cloth and raising it sufficiently to start roll. Shape roll in a curve or "S" shape to fit buttered long shallow pan. Brush generously with melted butter and bake in 350 degree oven for 1 hour.
