It looks great, but I did not understand *and fold into three* - how to fold the dough, if you upload a sketch or photograph of folding.

I've done and all strudel. The normal length of 40 cm was strudel to be able to fit into a standard baking pan of a standard oven. After rolling out the thin amount of that dough for me to obtain a rectangle measuring 40 cm x 100-120 cm. Placing the filling at one end, is quite difficult to naviesh roll. Therefore, buttered whole surface, caught from one short end and switched to 1/3 length. Similarly ported from the other end on the already folded dough. Newly rectangle was with dimensions of 40 cm 40 cm and of course much easier to roll. You can not bind, but to Roll on debt towel, put the filling on one end and using a towel to naviesh roll. Small shtrudelcheta are 8 in length and 14 cm rectangles of them raztochih were 14 cm of 70-80 sm. Based on previous experience, it folded in three as described above. Using cloth you and them naviesh roll without folding them.

Thanks for the quick response. Will definitely try the recipe :).
