MY BEST STRUDEL DOUGH 
2 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 whole egg
1 tbsp. butter
3/4 c. lukewarm water

Mix flour, egg, butter, and salt, Add lukewarm water and mix. Place on board and knead for 10 minutes. The more you knead the dough the better it will be to work with. Place in greased bowl. Cover and let rest for 1 hour. Divide dough in half.

How to Stretch Dough: Spread table with cloth to hang over sides. Sprinkle lightly with flour and place dough in center. With a floured rolling pin, roll out dough into 8 inch circle. Slide hands gently under dough and let dough rest on the back of your hands, with your palms down. Now pull the dough gently toward you. Stretch and pull dough as you go around. Dough should be thin as tissue paper.

APPLE FILLING:

4 lbs. of apples
1/4 c. butter, melted
1 1/4 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 1/2 tbsp. flour

Peel apples and slice. Add sugar, cinnamon, flour and mix. Brush melted butter over dough. Spread 1/2 apple mixture over dough. Fold sides up and over the filling and roll. Pick table cloth up to roll. Shape roll to fit 9 x 13 inch greased with melted butter. Brush the roll generously with melted butter. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes, until lightly brown.

My Best Strudel Dough

 Don Trentlage (United States) says:
Perfect Struedel Dough recipe.. stretches paper thin without tearing.. You need to add flour as you knead it, which isn't really clear in the recipe. I used a clean cotton tablecloth to cover table with. I made one large struedel instead of 2 smaller ones, that's just how I like it. I am going to make a blueberry one next.
