Tender Strudel Dough

Tender Strudel Dough

This tender strudel dough is perfect for creating a variety of sweet or savory fillings, rolled out to a delicate thinness for an exquisite pastry experience.

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• a pinch salt
• 2 eggs
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• as needed cups water

Method

1. Begin by sifting together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt in a large mixing bowl to ensure an even blend.
2. In another small bowl, whisk together eggs, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, and sugar until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
3. Gradually incorporate the egg mixture into the flour blend, mixing until combined.
4. Slowly add half of the water, kneading the dough until it becomes soft and elastic, adding more water as necessary to achieve the right consistency.
5. Cover the dough with a clean tea towel and allow it to rest for at least one hour while you prepare your chosen filling.
6. Once rested, divide the dough into two equal portions, wrapping one half in plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out.
7. On a floured surface, gently roll out the remaining dough until it is paper-thin, using a clean cotton sheet if helpful.
8. Brush the rolled-out dough lightly with the remaining vegetable oil, add your preferred filling, and bake according to your recipe's instructions.
