Buttery crescent rolls are a simple but delicious pastry that is a staple of Hungarian breakfasts. The soft, buttery dough and crispy exterior offer a unique experience in every bite. Crescent rolls are most often eaten for breakfast or as a snack, but they are also perfect with a pleasant afternoon coffee.
The preparation of the crescent roll dough is extremely simple, yet requires a lot of attention. The secret lies in the high-quality butter, which gives the crescent roll its soft, fluffy interior. Buttery crescent rolls are more than just a simple pastry, they are a real treat that makes every day a special experience.
Warm the milk slightly, then dissolve the sugar and yeast in it. Let it stand for 10 minutes until foamy.
In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the proofed yeast mixture and softened butter. Knead the dough until it comes together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic. Cover and let rise for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Divide the dough into 12 equal pieces and shape them into crescent rolls.
Place the crescent rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let rise for another 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and bake the crescent rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
Let cool slightly before serving.
