Thanks for the wonderful step by step guide–great pictures show how simple this really is to make! I included a link to this post in my blog post today, which features dulce de leche filled jelly roll, or pionono as they’re called in Argentina. Cheers!

Love your blog, Rebecca - Esteban looks like he was enjoying himself! PJH

KAF jelly rolls are just great - my mom alwways made them & my kids love them. However, the recipes I found were just so-so - either too sweet or cracked, etc. But now with your recipes ( I used your book) I have found the best. Tks so much. And I hope you all had a very Merry Xmas.

This recipe works fabulously for making the cake, but we have a family favorite instead of jam- whipped cream and strawberries! It’s wonderful, and rarely lasts long in our house.

This is a great jelly roll recipe. I decided a couple years ago to try to learn to make a jelly roll. This is the first time I felt that I really succeeded. I know it is a recipe I’ll use again.

I made it with a Cranberry Curd (from Nigella Lawson’s How to be a Domestic Goddess) and it was great. We called it Pinkalicious Roll which appealed greatly to my 7-year-old daughter.

I also appreciate that the cake is dairy-free. And if you don’t use a curd so is the filling. I have lactose-intolerant relatives so finding really good dairy-free recipes is great.

Thanks for the recipe.

I make Buche de Noel every year…sometimes more than one. The recipe I’ve always used separates the eggs and beats the whites until stiff. This recipe looks so much easier. I may try it before next Christmas. Love this site by the way. Helene

Haven’t thought about jelly roll in years. When I got my BHG cookbook in the 60s, I made both the regular jelly roll w lemon filling and also the chocolate roll. Used peach ice cream in chocolate roll and kept it frozen. It was the best. I guess it’s time to try it again!

I love the blog and all the reviews/comments. I have made the pumpkin roll (recipe from Libby’s website) - - using KAF, of course, and it has turned out great. It freezes great. I often give it as Christmas gifts. It is good to keep a “pumpkin roll” in the freezer - -cut off a hunk, let thaw a bit and sprinkle with more 4x sugar. Yummy!!!! I am anxious to make this jelly roll and I think I will try it with lemon curd. I just brought a Zo bread maker from KA and am anxious to try it out. What would a suggestion be for me to start with since I am new at using the machine?

Fran, start with one of the plain white breads in the Zo recipe book, so you can learn the basics of how the machine works. If you want to use it to make dough, then bake the bread outside the machine, any recipe using 3 to 4 cups of flour should do fine for you. Have fun! PJH
