Instructions
1. Prepare the dough
In a bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the egg, warm water, and oil. Knead until the dough becomes smooth and elastic. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. Make the filling
In another bowl, combine ground walnuts, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, warm milk, raisins, and lemon zest. Mix well.
3. Stretch the dough
Place the dough on a floured cloth and gently stretch it into a very thin rectangle (almost transparent).
4. Add the filling
Brush the dough with melted butter and spread the walnut filling evenly over the surface.
5. Roll the strudel
Using the cloth, carefully roll the dough into a long log.
6. Bake
Place the strudel on a lined baking sheet, brush with melted butter, and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30–35 minutes until golden.
7. Serve
Let it cool slightly and dust with powdered sugar before slicing.
