STRUDLE WITH WALNUTS

Strudel, with any filling, irresistibly reminds me of my grandmother and her kitchen. All of the strudels are my favorite and I can't single out any one in particular. Strudel with walnuts is a favorite in my home. Her scent reminds me of my childhood, of home...

 

 INGREDIENTS:

For the dough:
Soft flour around 14 oz,

 Two cups of milk,

 Butter around 3 oz,

 Two egg yolks,

 One cube of yeast,

Three teaspoons of sugar,

 One small lemon.

 For the filling:
Walnuts around 14 oz,

 Three cups of sugar,
Three cups of milk,
Two packs of vanilla sugar. 

PREPARATION:
Pour a little warm milk into the pan and dissolve the yeast and sugar and let it ferment.
Then add melted butter and squeezed lemon to the bowl.
Add two egg yolks, flour and the rest of the milk.
Knead a smooth dough.
Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rise.
Mix ground walnuts, sugar and vanilla sugar. 
Add milk to the mixture and mix everything well.







Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead.
Divide it into two equal parts.
Roll out one part at a time with a rolling pin into a rectangular shape to the size, ie the length of the pan in which the strudel will be baked.
Spread the first part of the dough over the entire surface with half the filling, and then repeat with the second.
Carefully roll up and transfer to a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
If desired, coat the strudels with one beaten egg yolk.
Leave them in the tray covered with a cloth for ten minutes, just until the oven heats up.
Bake them in a preheated oven at 160C for about 40 minutes.
Cut the baked and cooled strudel into slices and serve.

 Have a nice meal !
