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 the bread downright delicious!

To make the tangzhong: Combine all the ingredients in a small 
saucepan, and whisk until no lumps remain.

Place the saucepan over medium heat and cook the mixture, stirring 
regularly, until thickened, paste-like, and the spoon or spatula 
leaves lines on the bottom of the pan. This should take 2 to 4 
minutes, depending on the strength of your burner.

Remove the tangzhong from the heat and transfer it to a large mixing 
bowl, the bowl of a stand mixer, or the bucket of a bread machine 
(whatever you plan to knead the dough in).

To make the dough: Weigh your flour; or measure it by gently spooning 
it into a cup, then sweeping off any excess. Place the flour into the 
bowl with the tangzhong and add the remaining dough ingredients. Mix 
to combine, then knead - by hand, mixer, or bread machine - until a 
soft, smooth dough forms, about 8 to 10 minutes on medium-low speed 
of a mixer. (The dough may be tacky and stick to the sides of the 
bowl slightly; that's OK.)

Shape the dough into a ball and let it rest in a lightly greased 
bowl, covered, for 60 to 90 minutes, until puffy but not necessarily 
doubled in bulk.

To make the filling: Combine the cream cheese, sugar, lemon zest, and 
salt, mixing until smooth.

Add the freeze-dried raspberries and flour, mixing until the berries 
are completely crushed and evenly distributed.

To assemble: On a lightly floured surface, gently deflate the dough, 
divide it into four pieces (about 170g each), and shape each piece into a ball.

Cover the dough and let rest for 10 minutes.

Line a 9" springform or a 9" round cake pan (at least 2" deep) with 
parchment and lightly grease the parchment.

Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll it into a 6" x 12" 
rectangle. If the dough begins to snap back during rolling, set it 
aside and begin rolling out the second piece. Return to the first 
piece to continue rolling it to the full size after a couple of 
minutes, giving the gluten a chance to relax.

Portion 2 heaping tablespoons of filling (about 50g) onto the top 
half of the rectangle. A tablespoon cookie scoop works well here; use 
two rounded scoops per piece of dough.

Position the rectangle so its 12" sides are vertical. Starting at the 
top, spread the filling across the entire width of the rectangle 
(leaving about 1/4" bare on each side) and down about 6" or 7", 
leaving the bottom 5" to 6" bare. If the filling is difficult to 
spread, warm it in the microwave for 15 seconds and stir; check the 
consistency. Repeat, if necessary, until it's an easily spreadable consistency.

Using a bench or chef's knife, cut the uncovered dough at the bottom 
into very thin strips (anywhere from 1/8" to 1/4" wide).

Fold the long edges of the rectangle in to prevent any filling from 
seeping out.

Starting from the filling-covered top and rolling toward the 
uncovered strips, roll the dough into a log about 6" long.

Lightly press the strips into the rolled log to secure. Place the 
log, seam-side down, into the bottom of the pan so it's snuggled up 
against the pan's outside edge.

Repeat with the remaining pieces of dough, placing them into the pan 
to form a complete circle around the pan's outside edge.

Preheat the oven to 350F.

Cover the wool roll and let it rise for 60 to 75 minutes, until puffy.

To finish and bake the roll: Brush the roll with milk, being careful 
not to deflate the delicate dough.

Bake it for 28 to 32 minutes, until it's golden brown on top; a 
digital thermometer inserted into the center of the loaf should read 
at least 190F.

Remove the roll from the oven and cool it in the pan until you can 
transfer it safely to a rack to cool completely.

Storage information: Store leftover bread, well wrapped, at room 
temperature for several days.

Tips from our Bakers

The tangzhong starter can be made ahead of time. Simply cook it up 
(making a double, triple, or quadruple batch if you like, for future 
use) as instructed in steps 1 - 3. Remove from the heat and transfer 
to a small bowl, pressing a layer of plastic wrap over the top of the 
mixture to prevent a skin from forming. Cool to room temperature then 
store, covered, in the refrigerator for up to five days. When you're 
ready to bake your Wool Roll Bread, use a heaping 1/3 cup (95g) 
tangzhong in the dough. Use warm milk when mixing the remaining dough 
ingredients; proceed with the recipe from step 4.

Let your culinary imagination run wild with this recipe, since the 
sky is the limit for filling combinations. Cinnamon sugar? Chocolate? 
Butter and garlic? Pesto and cheese? Whether you go sweet or savory, 
don't overload your bread with filling. Less is definitely more when 
working with this soft, pillowy dough.
