How to bake a pork belly roll in the oven? Prepare all the necessary ingredients for this. Choose a brisket where there is a uniform layer of both meat and lard. The presence of lard gives the finished roll a juiciness. You can carefully cut the skin or cook the roll with it. There is no fundamental difference here.

If the piece of brisket is thick, then cut it along the entire piece, without cutting to the end and open it like a book.

Sprinkle the brisket generously with salt and ground pepper. You can take any spices to your taste.

Peel the garlic from the husks and spread over the entire surface of the brisket. I have very large garlic cloves, so I cut each one into 2-3 pieces.

Twist the brisket into a tight roll and wrap tightly with cotton threads.

Outside, sprinkle the roll generously with ground paprika and rub it a little with your hands.

Then wrap the roll in 2-3 layers of foil to prevent the juice from leaking out when baking. For baking, take a metal mold. Put the roll in it and put in the oven, preheated to 200 degrees for 1. 5 hours. I do not recommend using a ceramic form for this recipe. At high temperatures, it can crack.

After this time, remove the roll from the oven and open the foil. Cool and then put the roll in the fridge to keep it cold. Once refrigerated, it will be very easy to slice.

Cut the threads from the frozen roll and cut them into round pieces. Place the cut on a dish and serve to the table. Enjoy your meal!
