## Steps

1. Take the butter out of the fridge 30 minutes beforehand and soak the raisins in water so they swell. (30 min)
2. In a bowl, cut the butter into cubes, add the flour and baking powder, and rub together by hand until sandy in texture.
3. Add the egg, lemon zest, sugar, milk and a pinch of salt, and knead until you have a smooth, firm dough.
4. Shape into a ball, cover with cling film and rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes. (30 min)
5. Prepare the filling: peel and chop the apples, add the sugar, drained raisins, breadcrumbs, cinnamon, pine nuts and lemon zest. Mix well.
6. Roll out the dough on baking paper into a rectangle about 38x26 cm, a few millimetres thick.
7. Spread the filling evenly down the centre and fold the side edges of the dough over to enclose it.
8. Fold in the ends, pressing the edges firmly to seal the strudel.
9. Preheat the oven to 180°C.
10. Brush the strudel with beaten egg mixed with milk and bake for about 30-35 minutes. (32 min)
11. Remove the strudel from the oven and leave to cool to room temperature.
12. Before serving, dust generously with icing sugar.

## What was changed

Only the bell pepper was removed, as it did not belong in the filling.
