Ingredients for Kefir Roll
A special advantage of this baking is the presence in the composition of the simplest products that you will probably find in your refrigerator. To prepare a kefir roll, designed for twelve pieces, you will need:
- Flour - 1 cup or 160 grams.
- Eggs - 2 pieces.
- Sugar - 4 tablespoons.
- Kefir - 100 milliliters.
- Butter - 50 grams.
- Soda is half a teaspoon.
- Jam for the filling (the best is pitted currant jam) - 5 tablespoons.
- Salt is on the tip of a knife.
If there is no currant jam , then any other jam will do. The most important thing is that it be homogeneous, without seeds and seeds, which are so unpleasant to meet in baking.
Step One - Preparing the Dough
For kefir roll, the dough must be kneaded in two stages. To begin, separate the yolks from the eggs and rub them well with sugar. Add kefir, melted butter and sifted flour to this sweet egg mass. To avoid unnecessarily, sift the flour together with soda in advance and mix them thoroughly before making the dough.
The next step in the batch will be whipping the proteins. It is best to use eggs from the refrigerator, as they are easier to beat. Add a pinch of salt to the proteins and actively whisk them to a dense foam.
Gently mix the proteins with the bulk. Do not whisk, namely stir with a culinary spatula. The dough for kefir roll is ready!
Step two - baking a biscuit
While the oven is warming up to 180 degrees, prepare a baking sheet for baking. To do this, cover it with a layer of baking paper or foil and grease it well with vegetable oil. Pour the finished dough slowly onto a baking sheet. It is very important that its thickness does not exceed one centimeter. Since during baking, the height of the cake will increase greatly, and you will not be able to roll the roll without breaks. Try to distribute the dough as evenly as possible on the baking sheet. Bake such a cake needs no more than fifteen minutes. The main thing is not to dry the biscuit! Otherwise, when folding the cake into a roll, it will all crack, and the finished product will take on a completely unattractive appearance.
Step Three - Roll Design
As soon as the cake is completely baked and lightly browned, take it out of the oven and start to grease it with jam or jam when it’s hot. Slowly roll the missed cake into the roll, gently pressing it with your hands. Ready roll must be cooled and allowed to soak.
Secrets and recommendations
If for some reason you did not have kefir at hand, you should not worry at all. For this recipe, both yogurt and sour cream are suitable. If you knead the dough with fat sour cream, you can not add butter, as excess fat will make baking more difficult, and the roll will not turn out soft and airy.
Another important secret is the use of completely dry and clean dishes for whipping proteins.
If you wish, you can sprinkle the roll with powdered sugar, cocoa powder, coconut flakes or pour over chocolate icing. You can also cover it with icing sugar or boiled condensed milk.
If you are bored with jam filling, there is an incredible amount of other toppings. Curd, cream, protein, chocolate creams, boiled condensed milk and much more.
We wish you a successful process of making kefir roll and bon appetit!
