Continue mixing until you can knead the dough, noting that you probably won't use all the flour.

Knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it's smooth.

Place the dough on the table and stretch it gently from the center, working on the edges.

If any tears occur, stop stretching that area and pass it along without making it bigger.

Sprinkle bread crumbs evenly over the dough.

Place a line of apple filling along one edge of the dough.

Roll the dough up, brushing off excess flour and applying clarified butter as you go.

Twist the ends of the rolled dough and place it on a baking sheet.
