Shape and structure
Milk Roll is baked in a two-part cylindrical mould with ridges to indicate slice-cutting positions. The soft crust is caused by steam being trapped within the mould, because no surface is directly exposed and steam cooked, the crust is unusually soft making it preferable for children.[1]
