Although I was not at the strudel making class (went to the Oktoberfest), I was one of the lucky ones who had the pleasure of sampling Leah's strudels - pulled strudel with a variety of fillings, as well as the poppy seed strudel, all delicious. Thank you so much, Leah. I found this interesting website with several videos on making pulled strudel (German: "Gezogene Strudel" or "Ziehstrudel"). Scroll down just a bit, the ladies speak Hungarian, but there are German and English captions. There is also a video of a master baker - is he ever fast! http://klostersuppe-mit-haube.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html The first 3-part video shows an 88-year old Hungarian lady, she reminds me so much of my mother as she kneaded and pulled out the dough - take note of her kneading method. I would have to help her with the pulling, she on one side of the table and I on the other. There are more strudel videos, each with a slightly different method. You will also note that there are two ways of adding the filling: either spreading it all over the dough or placing it in a strip along one long edge. My mother put her filling along one edge, she insisted that spreading it all over made the dough soggy Happy baking, Rose Vetter in Richmond, BC On 25 September 2010 09:58, Rosina T Schmidt <rosinats@shaw.ca> wrote: > > Hello Strudel Makers Hopefuls, > > If you have not discovered it yet, David Preston filmed Leah Ott's Strudel > class (and slides), please see: http://www.banatbooks.com/Treffen.htm. > > As Marilyn writes below, watching the lovely presented video makes not only > your mouth water, but makes you eager to bake your own Strudel also. > > Thanks, David! > > Rosina > P.S. am making apple Strudel right now.... > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Marilyn > > > > Rosina and David -- I once again tried to view the video and lo and behold, > I finally got to watch the entire baking session.
