Strudel Preparation

Preheat oven to 190°C.
Place a cloth (approx 70 x 110cm) onto a table and sprinkle it with flour. Roll out dough into a thin, rectangular shape. Cover with another cloth and let rest for 5 minutes.
Remove top cloth and brush dough with some melted butter. Lift dough with floured hands, place dough over the back of hands and pull it with the knuckles toward the table edges. Move around the edge of the dough and keep pulling the dough slowly and carefully toward and finally over table edges. Cut off the dough where it hangs over the table edges. If holes appear in the dough while pulling, pinch them together lightly. Small holes will not be visible after rolling the strudel.
Brush dough with some melted butter, sprinkle breadcrumbs along the longest edge of pastry leaving some space at the edge of the dough and top with apple filling. Lift up cloth at filling edge, use it to turn the dough and roll up strudel by pulling the cloth slightly upwards. Then cut the roll in the middle, close ends of both rolls and place them on baking tray covered with baking paper.
Brush top with remaining melted butter and milk. Bake in a preheated oven at 190°C for 20 - 25 minutes until crisp and golden. Serve warm in slices.
