This direction of approach that even power is applied in all directions on the log of dough, which approach that the rolls don’t accumulate squished at the same time as you prick them! (The same approach shall be dilapidated for reducing Swiss roll desserts neatly.) It be now now not in actuality vital, but it makes for extremely photogenic rolls. —Izy Hossack
