The Paper-Thin Dough Stretch Behind an Authentic Viennese Apfelstrudel (Inspired by Inglourious Basterds)

Babish tackles old-school Viennese apfelstrudel as featured in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds, learning the technique from scratch. The video walks through building a high-gluten dough, stretching it tablecloth-thin by hand, layering it with spiced apples, raisins, and nuts, and finishing with piped whipped cream. A great watch for anyone curious about traditional Austrian pastry technique.
