Make the dough by mixing tepid water, vegetable oil, lemon juice, bread flour, and salt until smooth.

Stretch the dough by hand until it's thin enough to see through.

Melt unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat.

Add fresh breadcrumbs to the skillet and toast until golden.

Mix together white sugar, Dutch ground cinnamon, sour apples, lemon juice, rum raisins, and crushed walnuts in a bowl.

Spread the toasted breadcrumbs evenly over the stretched dough.

Arrange the apple mixture along one edge of the dough.

Roll tightly to form a log and place seam-side down on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush the top with melted butter for a golden finish.

Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown.
