A brief history of the roll

Rolls have a long history, being a beloved dessert in various cultures. They are often associated with festive moments and family gatherings, bringing simple joy to people. This raspberry roll recipe is a modern reinterpretation of an old tradition, combining natural flavors with an elegant appearance.

Step by step: Preparing the raspberry roll

1. Preparing the ingredients: Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature. This helps achieve a fluffier texture. Separate the egg whites from the yolks, being careful not to leave any traces of yolk in the whites, as they will not beat well.

2. Preparing the base mixture: In a large bowl, beat the yolks with the sugar and a pinch of salt until you obtain a frothy cream. Gradually add the oil while continuing to mix.

3. Beating the egg whites: In another bowl, beat the egg whites until they form a foam. An important trick: make sure your bowl and utensils are completely clean; otherwise, the egg whites will not beat well.

4. Combining the ingredients: Fold the beaten egg whites into the yolk mixture. Gradually add the flour, mixing with a wooden spoon from the bottom up, so as not to deflate the egg whites. Reserve a few tablespoons of this mixture to create shapes with raspberries.

5. Preparing the raspberry sauce: In a saucepan, place the raspberries with sugar and a little water. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the raspberries turn into a syrup. Let it cool slightly, then mix it with the reserved base mixture.

6. Forming and baking the bases: Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Use a piping bag to create the desired shapes with the raspberry mixture. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 5-7 minutes until the shapes firm up. After that, pour the remaining base mixture into the tray and bake for another 10-15 minutes until golden.

7. Preparing the cream: Whip the liquid cream with the sugar until it becomes firm. Mix the cooled raspberries with a little sugar into the cream, being careful not to completely crush them.

8. Assembling the roll: Once the base has completely cooled, spread the raspberry cream over it. Carefully roll it up, using the parchment paper to help form the roll. Make sure it is tight but not too tight, so as not to break the base.

9. Decorating: You can decorate the roll with additional cream or a simple glaze, but leaving it as it is allows the pattern to shine.

10. Serving: Let the roll rest in the fridge for 30 minutes before slicing. Serve portions with a drizzle of raspberry sauce on top for an extra burst of flavor.

Useful tips:
- Use fresh raspberries, but you can also opt for frozen raspberries if you don't have access to fresh fruit.
- You can experiment with other berries, such as blackberries or blueberries, to give your dessert a different note.
- Make sure to use a suitably sized tray to achieve an even roll.
