Mixing the Dough

Tacky Dough

Dough is slightly tacky

J.McGavin

Dough recipe for one large or two small strudels:

  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (300g)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon neutral oil (30 ml)
  • 13 tablespoons lukewarm water (200 ml)

After mixing all ingredients together initially with a spoon you will want to knead the dough by hand for several minutes until it is tacky, not sticky (whole wheat strudel recipe demonstrates "sticky").

The picture shows tacky dough (all purpose flour recipe). This dough is ready to form into a ball, brush with oil or melted butter and rest for an hour.
