This appropriately named loaf resembles a roll of wool, but despite its intricate appearance, it couldn’t be easier to make. We turned to our bread flour-based Japanese Milk Bread recipe for the soft, pillowy base for this gorgeous bread. While filling combinations are limitless, we find that pairing the dough with sweetened cream cheese studded with raspberries and lemon zest not only keeps things fresh and light, but makes this wool roll bread downright delicious!Note: To save a bit of time, make a supply of tangzhong starter up to five days ahead; see “tips,” below, for the details.
