My grandmother refused to teach me to make strudel. So I also learned it on my own. The one thing I remember is how easy it was. It is actually a lot easier than working with the frozen stuff. I never had a problem with stretching it. It was a lot of fun. It's been a long time since I made strudel, but as I get back into baking more complex things, I probably will try it again. I also remember thinking how similar the dough is to a pasta dough -- and both have to stretch.
