Preparation time: 30 minutes
Baking time: 15-20 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 20 crescent rolls

Ingredients:
- 500 g of flour
- 2 cups of oil
- 1 cup of water (slightly warm)
- 300 g of rahat (preferably with rose or lemon flavor for an intense taste)
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
- 1 packet of dry yeast
- a pinch of salt
- powdered sugar for decoration

Let’s begin our culinary journey!

Step 1: Preparing the dough
In a cup, dissolve the yeast in warm water. Make sure the water is not too hot, as excessive heat can kill the yeast. Add the salt, sugar, and oil, mixing well to combine the ingredients.

Step 2: Kneading
In a large bowl, add the flour and make a well in the center. Pour the yeast water mixture into this well. Start mixing the flour with the liquid using a spatula or your hands. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 5-10 minutes. If the dough is too sticky, you can add a little more flour, but be careful not to overdo it.

Step 3: Rising
Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let the dough rise in a warm place for 30 minutes. This step is essential, as the yeast will make the dough rise and become fluffy.

Step 4: Shaping the crescent rolls
Once the dough has risen, roll it out on a floured surface, forming a thin sheet. Take a knife or a pizza cutter and cut the dough into triangles. On each triangle, add a piece of rahat – don’t overdo the amount, as the rahat will melt during baking.

Step 5: Rolling
Take the triangles of dough from their base and gently roll them towards the tip of the triangle, forming the crescent rolls. Place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between them to allow for expansion during baking.

Step 6: Baking
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Bake the crescent rolls for 15-20 minutes, until they turn golden. Be careful not to leave them too long, as they may become dry.

Step 7: Decorating
After taking them out of the oven, let them cool slightly, then dust them with powdered sugar. This will give them an elegant look and add a touch of sweetness.

Serving suggestion
The rahat crescent rolls are delicious both warm and cold. You can serve them alongside a cup of tea or coffee, or even with a glass of milk. If you want to add a personal touch, try serving them with a teaspoon of fruit jam or vanilla ice cream.

Variations and tips
To make the crescent rolls even more interesting, you can experiment with different types of fillings. Instead of rahat, you can use chocolate, ground nuts, or fruit jams. You can also add flavors to the dough, such as vanilla extract or cinnamon, to enhance the taste.

Nutritional benefits
These crescent rolls are a source of carbohydrates, providing energy, and rahat adds a boost of simple sugars that are easily absorbed. Although they are delicious, it’s best to consume them in moderation, especially if you are watching your caloric intake.

Frequently asked questions
1. Can I use whole wheat flour instead of white flour?
