A bit of history

Rolls have a rich history and are loved worldwide. They were created to utilize leftover egg whites and yolks from other dishes. Today, rolls have evolved and become popular desserts, filled with various creams, fruits, or even chocolate. Whether you prefer a sweet filling or a less sweet one, the roll is versatile and can be adapted to everyone’s taste.

Ingredients

For the dough:
- 5 eggs (preferably at room temperature)
- A pinch of salt
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- 1 cup of flour
- 1 teaspoon of baking soda
- 5 tablespoons of oil (preferably sunflower oil)
- Vanilla and rum essence (to taste)
- Optional: 2-3 tablespoons of cocoa for a more attractive appearance

For the filling:
- 200g Ricotta
- 5 tablespoons of cottage cheese
- 1 tablespoon of sour cream
- Sugar to taste
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar
- Optional: fresh or candied fruits (for example, strawberries, raspberries, or peaches) added to the filling

Step by step

1. Preparing the oven: Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. It is important that it is well heated before you introduce the roll, to achieve even baking.

2. Separating the eggs: Separate the egg whites from the yolks. This is an essential step, as the whipped egg whites will give airiness to the roll.

3. Beating the egg whites: In a bowl, add a pinch of salt over the egg whites and start beating them with a mixer on medium speed until they become frothy. Then, gradually add the sugar and vanilla sugar, continuing to mix until the mixture becomes shiny and firm.

4. Adding the yolks: Once the egg whites are beaten, add all the yolks at once and mix for a few more seconds until well incorporated.

5. Liquid ingredients: Add the oil and the essences of vanilla and rum. Carefully homogenize the mixture, being careful not to lose the air from the egg whites.

6. Incorporating the flour: In another bowl, mix the flour with the baking soda. Sifting the flour will prevent lumps from forming. Gradually incorporate the flour mixture into the egg mixture, using a spatula and mixing gently.

7. Cocoa for decoration: If you want to add cocoa for a more attractive appearance, separate a portion of the dough and mix it with cocoa. Then, use a piping bag or a spoon to create a pattern on the surface of the roll.

8. Baking: Pour the dough into a large greased tray lined with baking paper. Bake for 5 minutes, then remove the tray from the oven, add the rest of the dough evenly, and return to the oven for another 20 minutes. You should obtain a lightly browned sponge sheet.

9. Preparing the cream: In the meantime, prepare the filling. In a bowl, mix the Ricotta, cottage cheese, and sour cream. Add sugar and vanilla sugar, adjusting the amount to your taste. If you want an even fresher taste, now is the time to add fresh fruits, but be careful to place them on the spread cream, not in the mixture.

10. Rolling: Once the sponge sheet is baked, carefully turn it onto a damp towel, remove the baking paper, and roll the sheet with the help of the towel. Let it cool.

11. Filling and cooling: Unroll the roll and spread the cream cheese evenly. Roll it up again carefully, making sure it doesn’t break. Once rolled, you can add a chocolate glaze or a dusting of sugar for a more gourmet appearance.

12. Serving: The roll can be served immediately or left in the fridge for a few hours to set. It is a perfect dessert for hot summer days, served alongside a scoop of ice cream or a fruit sauce.

Personalized version: Experiment with various fillings! You can try melted chocolate, cranberries, or even a vanilla cream for a whole new version.

Useful tips:
- Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature for a smooth texture.
- Use a quality mixer to beat the eggs, this way you will achieve a more stable foam.
- The roll is easier to handle if you let it cool completely before filling it.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can the roll be frozen? Yes, the roll can be frozen, but it is recommended to make it without filling. The filling can affect the texture after thawing.
- What drinks pair well with it? A strong coffee or a fruit tea will perfectly complement the flavors of this dessert.

Nutritional benefits: This recipe provides protein from cheese and eggs, while fresh fruits add essential vitamins and antioxidants. Of course, moderation is key!

Now that you have all the necessary information, all that’s left is to get to work! With a little effort and the right ingredients, you will create a roll so delicious that you will definitely want to repeat it. Enjoy!
