October 23, 2020. Beautiful sunny autumn day. Elegant Russian Lace Rolls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Russian Lace Rolls are some of the prettiest and most elegant rolls I’ve ever baked. I made a version in May and since have made tweaks and adjustments to it. The swirls and twirls make them so pretty and every roll is slightly different, which makes it “artisan”, right? Haha!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These rolls are slightly sweet and have a nice texture – it reminds me of sweet Easter bread<\/a>, like the dough I used for the Butterfly Braid Bread<\/a>. It’s not as fluffy as the Japanese Milk bread but nonetheless has a nice soft texture. The shaping creates lovely movements that are pleasing to the eye. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Russian Swirl Lace Rolls are elegant enough for company and are a nice addition to your Thanksgiving and holiday bread basket or for other special occasions and celebrations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 3 steps to making these rolls: first, create the dough; second, shape it into beautiful rolls; third, bake it in the oven. As with most yeasted bread, the key thing is letting the dough rest long enough before shaping. The difference with these rolls is that we apply a cream wash* instead of an eggwash before baking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have included lots of pictures illustrating every step of the way as well as 2 short video clips on how to shape the rolls. Without more delay, let’s bake! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
