Ingredients
Homemade crescent dough recipe
- 1 cup warm water (you can use milk for a richer dough)
- 4 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 10 g (2tsp) instant yeast
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsp softened butter
For the rolls
- 12-16 lices smoked ham (gypsy ham or Black Forest ham works well)
- 200 g (7oz) mozzarella cut into 5cm/2in long sticks (low moisture mozzarella works best)
- 1 egg beaten
- dried mixed herbs (Italian or Herbs de Provence)
- sea salt
Instructions
- To make the dough, whisk together the water (or milk if using), yeast and sugar. Allow to stand for 5 minutes until frothy.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the flour and salt and mix.
- Pour the yeast mixture into the flour and mix until the dough starts to come together. Add the egg and butter then knead for 5 minutes until the dough is soft and smooth. The dough should come away from the sides of the bowl while kneading.
- If the dough is too sticky, add 2-3 tablespoons flour, one tbsp at a time and allow to knead until the dough is smooth.
- Transfer the dough to a greased bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Place in a warm spot and allow to rise for 60-90 minutes until doubled in size.
- Tip the dough out onto a floured surface. Roll into a large rectangle approximately 1cm/0.4in thick.
- With a pizza cutter or large knife, cut the dough into long triangles, similar to how you would cut croissants.
- Place the ham and a piece of cheese onto the thicker side of the dough then roll into a tight roll. Tuck the point under and place on 2 sheet pans lined with parchment paper.
- Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a damn tea towel and allow to rise for 30 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F.
- When the rolls have risen, brush them with beaten egg then season with salt and herbs.
- Place in the oven and allow to bake for 15-20 minutes until the rolls are golden brown, puffed and baked through.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes before serving.
