This recipe can be done with both homemade or store bought crescent rolls. Honestly I first tried the rolls with store bought dough but the next time after some effort, I made the rolls from scratch and they were simply amazing. You can make these rolls both sweet or savory. I tried them with berry and chocolate filling for a nice dessert for some friends and they were a sure hit!
Homemade Crescent Rolls
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1/4 cup water, warm
1/2 cup milk, warm (100-110F)
1 tbsp sugar
2 cups bread flour
1/2 tsp salt
4 tbsp butter, room temperature
Take a large bowl and combine yeast, water, milk and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes, until foamy. Add in bread flour and salt and mix well. Cut the softened butter into three or flour pieces and drop them into the dough and blend them in. Knead the dough(with a mixer or by hand) for about 2 minutes. Cover the bowl and let rise for 45 minutes in a warm place.
Turn risen dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Press it out into a circle with your hands, then use a rolling pin to roll it out into an even, 10-inch circle.
Use a pizza cutter or a sharp knife to divide the circle into 12 triangles (just like slicing a pizza).
Preheat oven to 400F.
Put some jelly in the middle of each triangle and place rasperries/ blueberries or any other fruit filling you would like.Cover with a few pieces of cholate and roll the dough to tie both ends in a crescent shape.
Bake till the rolls are golden brown (approx. 10-12 minutes)
