Strudel.....First time in my 5th Daring bakers challenge !!!

I read before about strudel, but never tried to make it... for me, nothing new or creative in it.. just fill some phylo dough.. that's all !

But now I admit , doing it from scratch is really "fun" !!

My hubby, my kids and me really enjoyed it.

In Egypt we have "fettir" it is something like pie, nobody can make it perfectly except some bakers who are really specialized in making it, just for making "fettir", it is like a pie and the original kind of it is plain and we use to eat it with honey, mollasses or a kind of cheese called "mesh",it is a kind of cheese prepared by marinating it for a long period .

But now we can find several kinds of fetir "savoury" and stuffed.

It is just like strudel in the preparing technique, but we use to make it round with a lot of layers.

There are shops that specialize in fettir only, Making fettir is an art, unfortunately fewer people everyday have the know-how of making fettir.

I felt that making strudel from scratch as a process will not be strange to me.

I let doing it for the last day because I was so busy.

But the results were amazing , and we really loved it !!

The May Daring Bakers’ challenge was hosted by Linda of make life sweeter! and Courtney of Coco Cooks. They chose Apple Strudel from the recipe book Kaffeehaus: Exquisite Desserts from the Classic Cafés of Vienna, Budapest and Prague by Rick Rodgers.

Thanks Linda, thanks courtney ! The recipe was really awesome !

I made three kinds, the original one "apple strudel", but I used orange juice instead of rum.

I made another batch of dough and made a savoury strudel, I stuffed it with a very middle eastern dish wich is "Shawerma" and "middle eastern rice flavored with cardamom and cinnamon" .

I had some dough so, I filled it with rasberry puree, and it was nice too !!

Trying to make the dough more and more thinner was really exciting for all my family members and of course for me.

this is my photo when I was 3 years old ! I did not know at this time that I will be a daring baker :)))

And here you are the same picture after 32 years soo clear under the thin layer of my strudel dough !

My kids photo too was a part in this wonderful strudel's party..

The question now is that I have a lot of strudel now at home, we will not be able to finish it in one night, what can I do ??

It can be freezed well :)))

Can't wait to know what is the next challenge !!!!

Love from my heart to all of you, daring bakers are the best !!!!
