Wool roll bread started in Instagram and it became very famous, dont know where it originated from. It’s a kind of soft dough, in which sweet or savoury is filled as stuffing. The stuffing is filled half way and other half is sliced and its rolled over and kept in round cake tins. Its allowed to rise and baked. The final result is so stunning, it looks like a wool.
To give the bread dough a nice flavour I added mint, ginger juice and stuffed wih mushrooms, mozzarella cheese and corn. The end result is so good , the minty gingery flavour and the savoury inside is mind boggling.

Take 1/4 cup warm milk add sugar and yeast, leave it covered for 10 to 15 minutes.
Yeast will froth , if it doesn’t froth then either the yeast is of not good quality or the milk was too hot or cold.
