A brief history of rolls

Rolls are popular dishes in many cultures, with deep roots in culinary traditions. This cooking technique allows for the creative and aesthetic combination of various ingredients. Regardless of the filling chosen, the roll will always bring a touch of magic to the table.

Necessary ingredients

To prepare this mushroom roll, you will need the following ingredients:

- 5-6 tablespoons of white wheat flour
- 2-3 tablespoons of margarine
- 1 cup of skim milk
- 4 eggs
- 1 can of mushrooms (approximately 400g)
- 3-4 onions
- iodized salt, to taste
- freshly ground pepper, to taste
- 1-2 tablespoons of sour cream with 12% fat
- fresh chopped herbs (parsley, dill)

Preparation technique

Step 1: Preparing the roll mixture

1. In a pot, melt the margarine on the stove over medium heat.
2. Add the skim milk and stir to combine the ingredients.
3. When the mixture is homogeneous, add the flour all at once, continuously stirring with a whisk or spatula until you achieve a dense and uniform mixture, similar to a thick sauce. This will become the base of the roll.
4. Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then add the egg yolks one by one, mixing well after each addition.
5. Beat the egg whites until you achieve a firm foam and gently incorporate them into the above mixture using a spatula, to maintain the air in the egg whites. This step will ensure a fluffy roll.

Step 2: Baking the roll sheet

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Grease a baking tray with butter or margarine and dust it with flour to prevent sticking.
3. Pour the mixture into the tray and level it evenly.
4. Bake at high heat for 20-25 minutes, or until the roll is lightly golden and pulls away from the edges.

Step 3: Preparing the filling

1. In a pan, sauté the finely chopped onion in a little oil or margarine until it becomes translucent.
2. Add the drained and chopped mushrooms, stirring well. Let them cook for a few minutes until the mushrooms soften.
3. Season with salt, pepper, and add the chopped herbs.
4. Finally, add 1 tablespoon of flour mixed with 1-2 tablespoons of sour cream, stirring well to obtain a creamy filling.

Step 4: Assembling the roll

1. Remove the roll sheet from the oven and place it on a damp towel.
2. Quickly but carefully roll the edges, taking care not to break it. Let the roll cool in this shape for about 10 minutes.
3. Carefully unroll and fill it with the mushroom mixture. Roll it up again, ensuring it is tightly rolled.
4. Allow the roll to cool completely before slicing.

Useful tips

- You can also add feta cheese or grated cheese to the filling for extra flavor.
- Experiment with other ingredients, such as olives or bell peppers, to diversify the filling.
- This roll can be served both warm and cold, making it perfect for a snack or a platter of appetizers.
