How to prepare: Wool roll bread


To prepare the wool roll bread, collect all the ingredients, except the salt, in the mixer bowl. Mix using the whisk at low speed, then mount the hook and knead until stringing by adding the salt towards the end. Knead until you get a smooth and elastic dough then take it out of the bowl and with your hands bring the edges towards the center below. Repeat this operation several times which will give strength to the pasta. Form a ball, place it in a bowl, cover with cling film and let it rise in the oven with the light on until doubled. Alternatively, make sure it rises at a temperature of about 28 ° so it should double in about 2 hours.


After this time, overturn the dough on a pastry board lightly sprinkled with flour. Weigh it and divide it into 5 pieces of the same weight. Give each of them the shape of a ball. Cover with cling film and let it rest for 15 minutes.


Roll out a ball with a rolling pin on the pastry board to form a not too thin oval. With a tarot cut the upper half into parallel fringes. Place 10 g of cheese in the center of the uncut half, fold the side edges slightly inwards and roll up from bottom to top as shown in the image: you will finally have to obtain a cylinder. Repeat the same operation for all portions of pasta.


Grease the bottom and edges of a circular mold 20 cm in diameter by 7 in height. Cover the bottom with a baking sheet. Then place the 5 filled cylinders in the mold, with the closure facing down, adjacent to each other. Cover with cling film and let it rise again until doubled, in the oven off with the light on or in a sheltered place at 28 °. At the end of the second leavening, brush the surface of the “donut” with the cream and bake in a preheated oven at 170 ° for about 20-22 minutes.


Remove the wool roll bread from the oven and let it cool completely before turning it out of the mold and serving.
