Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).

   Roll tightly into a log. Seal the edge with a little beaten egg.

6. Egg wash
   Place seam-side down on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
   Brush with beaten egg.

7. Bake
   Bake for 25–30 minutes, until golden and puffed.

8. Rest & slice
   Let rest 5 minutes before slicing.
