Fluffy chocolate crescent rolls

Fluffy chocolate crescent rolls are kneaded with milk, butter and honey, then baked at 180°C until golden. The yeasted dough is cut into triangles and rolled into crescents with a soft, springy crumb; you can leave them plain or fill them with chocolate, sautéed apples, Turkish delight or jam. I put them on the table next to coffee. Prep: 25 minutes. Cook: 16 minutes. Rest: 75 minutes. Total time: 116 minutes. Servings: 8. Approximately 500 kcal and 8 g protein per serving.
Ingredients
- 7 g dry yeast
- 30 ml lukewarm water
- 250 ml milk
- 250 g butter
- 500-550 g flour
- 50 g honey
- 1 level teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
Preparation
1. Dissolve the dry yeast in 30 ml lukewarm water and leave it for 15 minutes, until activated. 2. Set aside 30 ml of the milk to adjust the dough. Heat the remaining 220 ml with the butter for about 2 minutes, until the butter melts. Put 500 g flour, the honey, salt and the warm milk and butter mixture in a bowl. 3. Add the yeast and knead well, until the dough becomes elastic. If needed, gradually work in the reserved milk or some of the remaining 50 g flour. 4. Cover the dough with a damp towel and leave it to rise for an hour, until it has increased in volume. 5. Heat the oven to 180°C. Divide the dough into 2-3 pieces and roll each one into a circle. Cut each circle into 8 triangles and roll them up from the wide side to the tip. 6. Arrange the rolls on a baking tray, leaving space between them, and brush with beaten egg. Bake for 16 minutes, until golden.
Notes
Chocolate, Nutella, sautéed apples, Turkish delight and jam all work as fillings; use cooled, drained apples and thick jam. For a savory version, leave out the honey and increase the salt to 1½ teaspoons; you can fill the rolls with ham and fresh cheese. The dough contains gluten, milk, butter and egg. Let the rolls cool and keep them covered for up to 3 days in the fridge. I keep kneading until the dough becomes elastic, without cutting the kneading short; I serve them with coffee.
Frequently asked questions
Can I replace the dry yeast with fresh yeast?
Yes, use 21 g fresh yeast and dissolve it in the 30 ml lukewarm water.
What should I do if the dough is still sticky?
Work in the reserved flour one tablespoon at a time, without going over 550 g in total.
How do I keep the filling inside?
Put no more than one teaspoon of filling on each triangle and roll the crescent up tightly, starting from the wide side.
