Mix and mix and mix and mix (use a mixer, kitchenaid is my fave) with the DOUGH HOOK and then take out a small ball of the dough (1-2 oz, say 1/4 cup of dough) and pull it from the center... the thinner you can stretch that 'window' the further the gluten is developed... Fully developed gluten can result in thinner-than paper dough (what i do when i make lavash) that is simply BEAUTIFUL. I also recommend that you make the dough the day prior to assembly, as an overnight rest in a fridge makes the dough very happy. I'm no good at html, so i'll put up a quick picture of a post on my blog for you to see what this "window" is... Good luck with the strudel, and any baking info you need, let me know :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25604704.post-13382860435041445312009-06-11T10:29:36.950-04:002009-06-11T10:29:36.950-04:00The secret to an elastic strudel dough is to use p...The secret to an elastic strudel dough is to use plain BREAD flour, believe it or not! <br />I had given up making strudel until someone told me about using this flour<br />and it works like a charm!<br /><br />So glad Biko is doing fine :=)<br />Ingridknitominoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25604704.post-71177120532128623242009-06-11T09:47:29.739-04:002009-06-11T09:47:29.739-04:00Now I'm hungry!Now I'm hungry!Wanderingcatstudiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11459444703722115118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25604704.post-71139763212580987942009-06-11T07:25:26.196-04:002009-06-11T07:25:26.196-04:00Both the cake and the strudel look wonderful.

I found that most of my Austrian recipes don't work too well with the American ingredients and I must confess that I never made a strudel dough before.
