Buttery Crescent Rolls From Scratch Recipe

The Buttery Crescent Rolls From Scratch Recipe combines flour, baking powder, salt, yogurt, and softened butter to create a dough that is smooth yet pliable. The dough is rolled out and spread with butter in thirds, then folded like a letter to create thin layers reminiscent of laminated dough.

This rolling, buttering, and folding is repeated three times with chilling periods in between to maintain dough temperature and enhance flakiness. After a final rest, the dough is shaped and cut to prepare for baking at 375°F until golden. The yogurt contributes to a tender crumb and slightly tangy flavor, complementing butter’s richness.

You can integrate small yogurt adjustments during mixing to achieve the right dough consistency, making this recipe adaptable depending on the yogurt’s thickness.
