Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter texture, separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat the whites until stiff peaks form before folding them into the batter. If you don't have cream of tartar, lemon juice can be used as a substitute. You can also experiment with different types of bread; whole wheat bread can add a nutty flavor to the log roll. This recipe is inspired by American recipes and can be adapted with different flavors.
