Separate the eggs for the sponge. Beat the egg whites with salt until stiff peaks form. Whisk the yolks with sugar until thick and creamy. Fold the meringue into the yolk mixture, sift in the flour, and gently fold everything together. Spread the batter evenly on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven for about 12 minutes. Transfer onto a kitchen towel sprinkled with sugar, remove the parchment, and roll up from the long side using the towel. Let cool (about 1 hour).
