Bolo de Rolo
One serving has 355 kcal and 5 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of selenium (28%) and riboflavin (23%). Ready in 50 minutes.

- Preparation: 30 min
- Cooking: 20 min
- Makes: 1 serving (110 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 25 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 20 g Sugar
- 20 g Flour, all-purpose
- 10 g Butter, unsalted
- 35 g Jam
Method
- Makes 1 slice; multiply by 10 for a whole roll. Beat the egg and sugar until pale and thick, then fold in the flour and melted butter to make a thin, smooth batter.
- Spread a thin, even layer of the batter over a lined sheet pan and bake at 200 °C (400 °F) for 5-6 minutes until just set but still pale; repeat to bake all the layers needed for the roll, one at a time.
- While each sheet is still warm and pliable, spread it with a thin layer of the guava paste (jam here), warmed slightly to spread easily.
- Roll the first sheet up tightly from one edge, then continue wrapping each next guava-spread sheet around the outside of the roll, building one thick spiral log.
- Wrap tightly and let cool completely, then slice crosswise to reveal the tight spiral of thin layers.
