Ingredients
- 3 1/3 tablespoons milk (lukewarm) (50 grams)
- 1 teaspoon active dry yeast
- 2 cups + 3 tablespoons all purpose flour (270 grams)
- 1/2 zest of half an orange*
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg*
- 1/4 cup Vanilla Yogurt* (65 grams)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I use corn or sunflower)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (50 grams)
*Remove from fridge 45 minutes before using.
EXTRAS
- 1 egg*
- 1 tablespoon milk*
- 2-3 tablespoons powdered / icing sugar
Instructions
- In a small bowl add the lukewarm milk (temperature 100-105F (38-40C) and sprinkle the yeast on top, let sit for 5 minutes, then stir to combine.
- In the bowl of a stand up mixer whisk together the flour, salt and zest. Make a well in the middle and add the egg, yogurt, oil, sugar and yeast mixture and start to knead.
- Continue to knead for about 4-5 minutes or until the dough is smooth and compact and pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- On a flat surface place the dough and form into a ball. Place the dough in a lightly oiled medium to large bowl, cover with plastic and a clean tea towel, place in a warm draft free area and let rise 2 hours or until doubled in bulk.
- Roll the dough into a circle (about 14x13 inches / 35x33 cm) cut into 8 more or less even triangles. Cut a slit in the bottom part of the triangle (as shown in the photo) pull the ends gently a little apart and roll up, place on a parchment paper lined cookie. Cover with the tea towel and let rise one hour.
- Pre-heat oven to 350F (180C).
EGG WASH
- In a small bowl beat the egg and 1 tablespoon of milk until well combined.
- Gently brush the crescent rolls with egg wash and bake for about 15-20 minutes. When done (see notes) let the crescents cool 2-3 minutes on the pan then move to a wire rack to cool completely. When cool dust with icing sugar and serve!
Notes
- If you want you can substitute the orange with lemon or mandarin.
- For this recipe, you can substitute with greek yogurt although you may need to add an extra tablespoon of room temperature milk to help bring the dough together.
- Make sure your milk isn’t too hot or too cold, the perfect temperature is between 100-105F.
- The croissants will be done when they are a deep golden brown and they should sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. An instant read thermometer will read 190°F at the centre of the crescent roll when done. If you find they are browning too quickly then cover the pan loosely with foil and continue baking.
- Store the cooled baked crescent rolls in an airtight container or bag. They will keep for up to three days at room temperature and up to a week in the fridge.
- They can be frozen once they are cooled completely. You could freeze them first on a cookie sheet then place them in a freezer safe bag or container. Or you could freeze them in a freezer safe container in single layers separated by parchment paper. They will keep for up to a month in the freezer.
