Honey roll: cooking tips

Often, young housewives have a question about how to replace baking paper in the oven. Instead of special paper, it is proposed to use a regular office or drawing tracing paper, which must be pre-oiled. And you can also replace it with foil, which is placed with the matte side down, and the products are placed on the shiny side. This is due to the fact that the dull surface is oxidized due to contact with food. Another solution is a silicone non-stick rug. Finally, you can do without paper: bake directly on a baking sheet, oiled and sprinkled with flour, breading or semolina.
Another problem when folding a roll from a biscuit is its breakdown. So that it does not break, it must be soft. To do this, it, along with baking paper, is laid out on a pre-prepared clean towel, soaked and wrung out. A wet paper towel is placed on top and curled very carefully with the paper. Let lie for half an hour, then unwind, remove the baking paper, apply the filling and again make the roll.
