If you’re anything like me you wait every year for Valentine’s Day for the exciting desserts. This year since we’re in the middle of a pandemic, baking has quickly become one of my favorite hobbies. One delicious and easy treat to bake is Swiss rolls, and today,I will be sharing the recipe with you. The nice thing about Swiss rolls is that you can choose whatever filling you like—for mine, I chose strawberry jam so the treats could have some Valentine’s day colors. My Swiss roll turned out thicker than expected this time since I did not use a sheet pan but using a sheet pan should make the rolls less thick. I hope you enjoy the recipe! Happy Valentine’s Day!
