- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp fine salt
- 1/2 Tbsp instant yeast
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 11 Tbsp butter (room temperature)
- 3/4 cups water (warm)
- Optional: filling for the crescent rolls (chocolate, ham & cheese, etc.)
Instructions
- Combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, and yeast in the bowl of a stand mixer.
- Add water and mix on medium-low speed using the dough hook attachment.
- Add 1 Tbsp of butter at a time, waiting until each piece of butter is fully incorporated into the dough before adding the next.
- Shape the dough into a ball, cover the bowl, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375° F.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts.
- Using a rolling pin, roll out each piece into a rectangle over a sheet of parchment paper, approximately the size of a sheet of paper.
- Use a bench scraper to cut vertically into 2 equal parts, then horizontally into 4 equal parts, then 2 more diagonal cuts to make 8 triangle-shaped pieces in total.
- Optional: Add filling to each triangle
- Roll up each triangle piece. Start with the outside edge and roll towards the point in the center.
- Place each roll on a baking sheet with the point facing down so that it doesn’t come undone during baking.
- Bake for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
