Zucchini roll is a delicate and airy dish that impresses with its lightness and richness of flavors. Originating from Russian cuisine, it embodies the idea of simplicity and versatility, allowing for experimentation with fillings. The base is a zucchini crust soaked in a creamy sour cream mixture with dill. The filling of fresh vegetables and Adyghe cheese adds juiciness and softness to the roll, while baking makes it aromatic and golden. It is ideal as an appetizer or light dinner, especially in the summer season when zucchinis are abundant. Its pleasant texture, tender taste with herbal notes, and variation possibilities make this roll a favorite dish for culinary experiments.

5. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees, line the baking tray with parchment paper, and grease it with butter. (It's essential, otherwise our roll won't come off the paper... it will stick...)

6. We make the dough like this. Grate the zucchini on a fine grater, drain the excess juice, add semolina, milk, baking soda, flour, and dill, and mix (the dough should be like for pancakes). Spread the dough evenly on paper, bake until a firm crust forms on top and the edges are slightly browned.
