turn the dough over. Knead dough on a
lightly floured surface until soft and
smooth. Cut in half and roll dough out
into a rectangle, approximately 30x20cm.
8. Spoon apple mixture along the long side
of the dough and roll up tightly, Swiss

9. Ease the roll into a greased ring tin and
join ends. Cover, and allow to rise for
approximately 40-50 minutes. Preheat
