Free. No account needed.

Method
Pour flour into a pile on a clean surface.
Whisk together water, egg, lemon juice, oil, and salt.
Pour liquid into the center of flour and gently combine until clumps are gone.
Knead dough until glossy, approximately 20 minutes.
Place on a wooden cutting board to rest for at least 30 minutes.
Wash raisins in hot water, soak them, heat in microwave for 1 minute, drain water, dry in paper towel.
Mix raisins, 2 tsp sugar, and rum.
Bubble melted butter on stove top, do not brown or burn.
Pour bread crumbs into butter on stove, mix until golden brown, set off to side.
Peel, core, and slice apples, sprinkle with lemon juice to keep from turning brown.
Once dough has set for at least 30 minutes, begin to roll to paper thin.
Then pull apart with back side of hands, not fingers, and make a square.
Spread the bread crumbs on gently, followed by the apples, sugar, cinnamon, and rum-soaked raisins.
Roll, place on a baking sheet, then bake for approximately 1 hour at 350°F.
Bake until golden brown - might be longer or less than an hour depending on the oven.
Tips while you cook
- Rest the dough
- Allow the dough to rest for at least 30 minutes before rolling it out.
- Soak and dry raisins
- Wash, soak, microwave, drain, and pat dry the raisins before mixing with sugar and rum.
- Melt butter without browning
- Bubble the melted butter on the stovetop, taking care not to brown or burn it.
- Roll dough paper‑thin
- After the rest period, roll the dough to paper‑thin, then pull apart with the back of your hands to form a square before adding filling.
