Homemade Strudel - Viennese Apple Strudel
According to Wiki - "traditional Austrian Strudel pastry is different from strudels served in other parts of the world that are often made from filo or puff pastry. The traditional Strudel pastry dough is very elastic. It is made from flour with a high gluten content, egg, water, and butter with no sugar added. The dough is worked vigorously, rested, and then rolled out and stretched by hand very thinly. Pertaining to anecdotes, purists say, it should be so thin that a newspaper can be read through it. A legend has it that the Austrian Emperor's perfectionist cook decreed that it should be possible to read a love letter through it. The thin dough is laid out on a tea towel, and the filling is spread on it. The dough with the filling on top is rolled up carefully with the help of the towel and baked in the oven."
The recipe and step by step on how to made the strudel from scratch is HERE

I am a malaysian staying in austria for almost 22 years and I have never made apple strudel from stratch. It seems no austrian girl can marry if they do not know how to make the strudel pastry. Hats up.
