Make the strudel dough using bread flour, hot water, lemon juice, vegetable oil, and salt.

Mix the dough in a mixer with a paddle attachment until it sticks to the paddle.

Knead the dough by hand until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.

Cover the dough and let it rest for at least 1 hour, preferably 2 hours, in a warm place.

Peel and slice the apples, soak raisins in boiling water, then drain.

Mix the apples with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, and the soaked raisins.

Prepare a tablecloth for stretching the dough, dusting it with flour.

Stretch the rested dough on the tablecloth until thin enough to see the pattern through it.
