DIRECTIONS
For the preparation of strudel, start by preparing the dough: in a bowl pour the Viaggio flour and salt; then add egg, water and Viaggio Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Begin to knead vigorously, just enough to make the dough homogeneous. Lightly grease the work surface and knead till obtaining smooth and elastic dough. Create a ball dough and brush it with oil, cover with plastic wrap and let it rest for an hour in a cool place. Meanwhile, soak the raisins in rum, or if you prefer, in warm water; melt the butter in a pan and toast breadcrumbs.
Stir and let it brown for few minutes, then turn off the heat and let cool. Then peel the apples and cut them into thin slices; pour the apples into a large bowl and add the sugar, pine nuts, grated lemon peel, a pinch of cinnamon and raisins well drained and squeezed.
Roll the dough out onto a lightly floured dish towel, forming a rectangle. Brush the surface, except the edges with a little melted butter and sprinkle with toasted breadcrumbs; This layer will absorb the juices that apples release during cooking. Pour over it the mixture with apples; roll up strudel, being careful not to break the dough.
Then place the strudel on a baking tray lined with parchment paper and brush it with melted butter. Bake strudel in oven preheated to 390F for about 40 minutes.
ENJOY!
