brushed dough, leaving a hand’s width of dough uncovered on
either side of the filling. Take hold of the tablecloth upon which your

end, wrapping the filling tightly in the dough. Once you’ve rolled up

butter. Bake it for 40 to 45 minutes, or until it is golden brown. Allow
the strudel to cool completely and then sift confectioners’ sugar
over it.
