How to prepare: Pistachio roll

Preparation Pistachio roll - Phase 1

Preparation Pistachio roll - Phase 1

To prepare the pistachio roll, start with the biscuit dough. Separate the yolks from the whites, whip the first together with the sugar, with a couple of electric whisk or with the planetary mixer, until the mixture is very light and fluffy. Add the sifted flour with the baking powder, the grated lemon zest and mix.

Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks are soft. Incorporate them into the previous mixture, mixing with a spatula from bottom to top. Transfer everything to a baking tray covered with parchment paper and roll it out to a thickness of about half a centimeter (we used a 29×25 cm baking pan). Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.

Remove the cake from the oven and turn it upside down on a cloth, or on a sheet of parchment paper, sprinkled with a little granulated sugar. Brush the surface of the parchment paper with cold water to help you remove it. Once removed all, replace it with a new sheet and roll up. Let it cool completely.
