You can make the dough for lemon strudel yourself, but the process will take longer, and this will not affect the taste of the baked goods. The most important thing is that the dough is elastic and very thin. If you have enough time, it is better not to roll out the dough, but to stretch it. In addition to lemon, you will need an orange for the filling. Take citrus fruits with dense shiny skin, the aroma of the fruit should be rich.

Step 1

Boil the syrup. Carefully remove the zest from the orange, chop it finely, place it in a saucepan and fill it with water. Add 3 tablespoons of sugar and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 2

In a deep bowl, squeeze the juice out of the orange and lemon using a masher. Pour it into a glass, add starch and stir. Pour the syrup into another glass and transfer the cooked zest to the pulp. Grind the pulp using a blender.

Step 3

Prepare the filling. Pour the syrup and juice with starch into a saucepan, add the pulp and the remaining sugar. Mix thoroughly and cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Let the filling cool.

Step 4

Roll the strudel. Roll the dough into a thin rectangular sheet and spread the filling evenly over it. Carefully roll the strudel into a roll, pinching the edges.

Step 5

Bake the strudel. Place the roll on a baking tray and bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for 20-30 minutes.
