Strudel Dough

Step 1
Sift together all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl.

Step 2
Mix eggs, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and sugar in a small bowl. Quickly stir into the flour mixture. Mix in approximately 1/2 of the water. Knead into a soft, pliable dough, using more water as necessary.

Step 3
Cover dough with a tea towel and allow to sit at least 1 hour while desired filling is prepared.

Step 4
To use, divide into two parts. Cover half the dough with plastic wrap while you roll out the other.

Step 5
Carefully stretch the dough into paper thinness on a lightly floured surface (a clean cotton sheet is ideal) and lightly brush with remaining vegetable oil. Fill and bake as desired.
