  3. Roll out the black dough into a rectangle. Repeat with the white dough. Stack the black and white rectangles, then roll into a log shape.
  4. Roll out the purple dough and sprinkle with purple sprinkles. Roll this dough around the marbled log.
  5. Roll the entire assembly into a log, enclosing the purple center, and ensure edges are sealed.
  6. Wrap the log in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
