Because it's a pastry and gluten will make it tough, which is an undesirable trait in pastry.

I always use challah flour (strong white bread flour) for rugelech and they have been coming our amazing for 30+ years.
I believe the yeast needs this type of flour to do it's job best

the gluten in your strong white flour could be the same as the gluten in all purpose flour in a diff
brand.

I do it with high gluten flour. Comes out Hungarian Heimish Amazing! lol
Only for a yeast dough. Of course the margarine ones don't need the high gluten.

I honestly have no clue about the grams part. I buy the high gluten flour and that's that. I'll google for you.
It says that high gluten flour is 12%-15%
