- Preheat oven to gas mark 4 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
- Make the filling up in advance by cooking the brown rice and mixing it with the cheese breadcrumbs minced onion and mushrooms.
- Pour the lowfat milk over it followed by the melted butter and season it with salt and freshly milled black pepper.
- Cover and leave aside.
- For the pastry sift the flour and a healthy pinch of salt into a mixing bowl and then make a well in the centre and beat in egg the oil and sufficient water to mix it to a smooth dough (add in a couple of Tbsp. of water first then add in the rest onIy if you need to).
- The dough should be smooth and you should now knead it till it becomes very elastic in texture.
- This will take about 5 min and youll need a little more flour to dust it with to prevent it sticking.
- Now to roll it out you will need a clean cloth approx. 1 metre square (a piece of an old worn out sheet will nicely).
- What you do is flour the cloth all over and then pop pastry on to it and start rolling and stretching the dough.
- Dont worry if you dont get a perfect square and wont worry if you get a few holes they wont matter but what does matter is which the pastry must be paper thin.
- The pastry will eventually roll out to an area which almost fills the cloth.
- Now you sprinkle the filling all over.
- It will look a bit sparse but thats OK as next the whole thing gets rolled up.
- To do this first fold each edge in about 2.5cm and then lift one end of the cloth and just allow the whole thing to roll over and over like a swiss roll tilting the cloth as it rolls.
- You then need a large greased baking sheet transfer the strudel on to it and fold it round into a horseshoe shape.
- Now brush with lowfat milk and sprinkle poppy seeds all over and bake the strudel in the oven for 40 min.
- Serve cut into slices with a Fresh tomato sauce and a crisp green salad with a sharp lemon dressing.
- Serves 4 6
