Crescent rolls are buttery, flaky pastries with a tender, airy interior, perfect for any meal or occasion. Their easy preparation and versatility make them a favorite among bakers and food lovers alike. Enjoy them plain or filled with sweet or savory ingredients for a delightful treat every time.
Activate the Yeast: In a small bowl, dissolve the sugar in the warm milk. Sprinkle the yeast over the milk and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
7 g Instant dry yeast, 15 g Sugar, 240 g Whole Milk
Prepare the Dough: Combine the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Pour in the activated yeast mixture, eggs, and melted butter. Mix until a soft dough forms.
500 g All-purpose flour, 9 g Salt, 100 g Eggs, 113 g Butter
Rise: Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1-2 hours or until it has doubled in size.
Shape the Crescents: Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal parts. Roll each part into a circle about ¼ inch thick. Brush the entire surface of the dough with melted butter.
30 g Butter
Cut and Roll: Using a pizza cutter or sharp knife, cut the circle into 8-12 wedges (like slicing a pizza). Starting from the wide end, roll each wedge up towards the point to form a crescent shape. Place the crescents on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving some space between each one.
Second Rise: Cover the baking sheet with a damp cloth and let the crescents rise again for about 30-45 minutes until they are puffy.
Bake: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush the tops of the crescents with more melted butter or egg wash. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crescents are golden brown.
1/2 Egg
Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the crescents cool on a wire rack. Enjoy your buttery crescents warm or at room temperature.
