Prepare the dough: Put the flour and salt in a bowl. Make a well in the centre and pour in the oil and lukewarm water. Mix all the ingredients first with a spoon and then with your hands.
Knead the dough: Knead the dough vigorously for at least 10 minutes. It should be smooth and elastic. The long kneading is important so that the dough is stretchy and thin later. If you have a food processor, it will be even better and smoother.
Resting time: Form the dough into a ball, pull it taut and rub it with a little oil to prevent it from drying out. Wrap it in cling film and let it rest at room temperature for at least 60 minutes. It's best to let it rest for 24 hours.
To roll out: Lightly flour a clean kitchen towel and place the dough on it. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin as thin as possible. Then gently pull the dough outwards from the centre until it is wafer-thin and you can almost see through it.
Preparing the filling: Before you add the filling, brush the dough with a little melted butter or oil. Then add the filling as you like and carefully roll up the strudel.
