Simple sponge roll with pear
Description
Delicious pastry for the whole family. For preparing such a dessert, soft ripe pears are ideal, as they will slightly moisten the dough, making the rolling process easier. When using firmer fruits, they should be grated on a coarse grater before baking. Serve cooled or slightly warm.
