Measure 250 grams of flour on a flat surface.

Make a hole in the flour and add 1 egg, a pinch of salt, and a little bit of vegetable oil.

Use half of the eggshell to measure the oil and add it to the hole.

Slowly add lukewarm water, mixing with your hand until the dough comes together.

Knead the dough until shiny and form it into a ball.

Place the dough in a bowl with a splash of vegetable oil, cover with a towel, and let it rest for 30-45 minutes.

Peel and slice 10 green apples.

Prepare a surface with flour and place the rested dough on it.

Roll out the dough as thin as possible, using your fists to stretch it.

Spread the apples evenly over the dough, leaving out excess juice.

Sprinkle 2/3 cup of breadcrumbs over the apples.

Add 1/2 stick of butter on top of the apples.

Cut off the thick edges of the dough.

Roll the dough up using a towel to assist.

Seal the ends of the strudel by rolling them together.

Place the strudel on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Brush melted butter on top of the strudel.

Bake in the oven at 350°F for 35-40 minutes.
