  3. For the dough, combine the flour with the yolks, work with a fork to make a coarse dough, add the warm milk with the melted butter, work everything until it forms an elastic and soft dough, and knead for 8-10 minutes with the food processor or KitchenAid or 20 minutes by hand. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour. It can be overnight.

  4. Preheat the oven to 200C or 400F.
  5. On a floured counter, roll the dough until it is very thin and you can see through, about 40 x 55cm. Flip the dough on a kitchen towel and let it dry for 5 minutes.

  8. Roll up from the opposite side. Using the kitchen towel, you want the strudel to be longer than fatter. Carefully transfer it to a buttered baking sheet and brush it with milk or a beaten egg.
  9. Bake 40-45 minutes until golden and crisp. Let cool on the same baking sheet and cut while still warm. Serve sprinkled with powdered sugar.
