1 1/2 cups bread flour (plus more for dusting, sprinkling, filling)

4 tbsp vegetable oil

2 egg whites
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tbsp lemon juice
1/4 cup warm water (110F)
4 baking apples, peeled and sliced thinly
1/2 cup sugar
Zest of one lemon
1/2 cup raisins
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts, hazelnuts, or almonds
1 stick butter, melted, plus more as needed
1 egg, beaten
1 cup heavy cream
1 tbsp sugar
Powdered sugar for garnish

Place flour in a large bowl - create a well in the center with your fingers, and fill with vegetable oil,
egg whites, salt, and lemon juice. Mix with fingers until just combined, and sprinkle with water.
Knead until a sticky dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured tabletop, and knead rigorously (slap
onto the table about 100 times), until the dough is soft and supple. Place in a lightly oiled bowl and
let rest for 30 minutes.

Combine apples, sugar, lemon zest, raisins, and cinnamon. Set aside and let liquid weep from
apples.

Cover a large table with a cotton tablecloth, and liberally dust with flour. Roll out dough on
tablecloth until about 24" in diameter, and using floured fists, stretch dough out as large as possible
without tearing. Back on the tablecloth, gently tug at edges of dough until it's a rectangle thin
enough to see the pattern of the tablecloth underneath. Trim off torn/thick edges. Drizzle with
melted butter, and brush until evenly coated. Sprinkle with chopped nuts.

Place about 3/4 of apple mixture on one side of the dough rectangle, and using the tablecloth, roll
the apples over onto the dough square. Brush the newly-exposed dough covering the apples with
melted butter. Roll apples over again, and repeat, until apples are at the center of a long, closed
roll. Pinch ends together to seal contents inside, and place seam-side down on a parchment-lined
baking sheet. Brush liberally with a beaten egg.

Bake for about an hour, basting with melted butter every 10-15 minutes, as soon as the crust
begins to look dry. Remove from oven when golden brown. Allow to cool at least one hour before
slicing, dusting with powdered sugar, and serving.

In a small bowl, combine cream and sugar. Beat to stiff peaks, and pipe into a bowl, served
alongside strudel.
