Ingredients

5 kg of flour is enough for a large baking dish (the size can be seen in the photo)
about 12 rolls,
4 eggs
2 tablespoons lard
1 tablespoon sugar
7.5 dkg yeast

Preparation procedure

Let the yeast swell in lukewarm water with the sugar.
Mix into a smooth dough with salted water (only enough salt so it's neither bland nor too salty)
Divide the dough into 4 equal balls and spread lard on the surface so the dough doesn't dry out
Meanwhile the dough rises (30–60 min) until it's elastic. Be careful with the temperature so the dough doesn't cool down, because it would tear and not stretch.
Roll the dough out on the work surface as thin as possible.
Sprinkle the dough with poppy seeds and sugar. She greased it with lard.
She whipped the cream with sugar and eggs. She then added it to the dough.
Finally, using a cloth, she rolled the dough up and cut it into equally long pieces.
Brush the resulting strudels with the remaining cream and bake in a preheated oven for 30–40 minutes at 180 degrees.
