<\/a>How to make wool roll bread?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Mix your yeast in lukewarm milk and set it aside for 5 to 10 minutes to bloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> In a large bowl or your stand mixer, whisk all-purpose flour with salt and sugar. Crack an egg and mix everything (use a fork or whisk if you don\u2019t have a stand mixer).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/strong> By now, the yeast will be bubbly and ready to be added. Pour it in and then knead at medium speed for 10 to 11 minutes. If you\u2019re kneading by hand, give it a good 12 to 14 minutes. The key to soft, fluffy wool bread is kneading the dough well.<\/strong> So don\u2019t skimp and don\u2019t be in a hurry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4:<\/strong> Take out the dough from the stand mixer, shape it into a ball, and then place it in a greased bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and tuck it in a draft-free corner for an hour, or until the dough has doubled in volume.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shaping the wool bread <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Step 5:<\/strong> Gently tip the proofed, puffed-up dough on a very, very lightly floured work surface. You don\u2019t want to add unnecessary dry flour to this bread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6:<\/strong> Flatten it into an 8-inch round. This will also deflate the dough. Then cut 5 equal pieces. You can eyeball them or weigh them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 7:<\/strong> Roll each piece into a ball and then cover again with a wrap or damp kitchen towel for about 15 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 8:<\/strong> Working with one dough ball at a time, roll each one into an oblong shape about 16 cm long and 7 to 8 cm wide. You don\u2019t have to <\/em>adhere to these numbers. Take them as bumpers that will help you stay in the right lane. A cm here or there won\u2019t hurt the bread a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 9:<\/strong> On one half of each rolled-out dough, use your knife to slice vertical threads (or yarns). My tip is to either visually divide each piece into half or score a very light line about halfway through to guide you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Baking the wool roll bread recipe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Step 10:<\/strong> Starting from the uncut edge, roll the dough down towards the strips. Tuck the seam under the roll and repeat the process for the rest of the 4 pieces. Watch the video to see how I cut and shaped the dough. When you see it, you\u2019ll understand better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 11:<\/strong> Place the shaped dough, seam side down, espaliered against the pan\u2019s edge, so there\u2019s a gap right in the center. I used an 8-inch round pan, well-greased and lined with parchment paper. It\u2019s a snug fit, and at one point I thought the rolled logs wouldn\u2019t fit. But if you squeeze them in, they do, and the wool bread still rises beautifully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 12:<\/strong> Proof the wool roll bread a final time for 30 to 40 minutes. Once it\u2019s puffed up, brush with milk and bake. All ovens are different, so the exact time will vary, but my bread was gorgeous golden in 25 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes before turning it over on a wire rack. You can brush the hot bread with melted butter for that extra sheen!
