Ingredients:
For the dough:
- 25 grams of fresh yeast
- 2 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of natural yogurt
- 2 cups of all-purpose flour
- 100 grams of cold butter
- 2 egg yolks
- ½ cup of natural yogurt
For the egg wash:
- 1 beaten egg
For the filling:
- Leftover chocolates or candies (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the starter by mixing the yeast with one tablespoon of sugar and one tablespoon of yogurt. Let this mixture sit for about 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, combine the starter with the flour, cold butter, egg yolks, the remaining sugar, and the yogurt. Mix and knead the dough until smooth, then set it aside for about 30 minutes to rise.
- Form the crescent rolls. Place a small amount of filling, if using, on each piece of dough before rolling it into a crescent shape. Be sure to seal the edges well to prevent the rolls from opening during baking.
- Brush the rolls with the beaten egg, and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 15 minutes, using top and bottom heat.
Enjoy!
