3 cups flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 cup lukewarm water |
3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup margarine, melted |
4 -5 granny smith apples |
1 cup raisins |

1 teaspoon cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Mix egg with flour and salt in a bowl.
2. Add water and 1/2 c melted butter or margarine gradually.
3. Knead until smooth, keeping dough as soft as possible.
4. Grease dough ball and place in a covered bowl for 20 minutes or more.
5. Then place dough ball on a large surface - such as a table - that is covered with a cloth.
6. Roll dough out as thin as possible with a rolling pin.
7. then gently pull dough from all sides, stretching it until dough is tissue-thin.
8. Patience and gentle pulling does it.
9. if dough tears, keep going and mend it by joining dough ends.
10. Spread entire dough with 1/2 c butter or margarine, then with sliced apples, raisins, sugar and cinnamon.
11. roll into a jelly roll shape, then form roll into a circle or coil.
