📝 Preparation Steps
1
To Make the Dough

In a large bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together.
(10 oz/284 g) all-purpose flour2 cupsbaking powder1 tablespoon(8 oz/225 g) plain whole milk yogurt1 cup(3 oz/85 g) butter (softened )6 tablespoonssalt1 teaspoon
3
Stir in yogurt and mix with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough is formed. (IF your dough is a little dry add a very small amount of yogurt to bring it together)
4
Rolling and Folding
5
On a floured surface, roll dough into an 8 x 12 inch (20 x 30 cm) rectangle.
6
Spread ⅓ of the softened butter ( 1 oz/ 43 g) over the dough. Fold the dough in thirds, like a letter, so that the dough is in 3 layers (see video above.). Cover and place in the fridge to chill for a minimum of ⏱️ 30 minutes.
7
Repeat this rolling, buttering, and folding 2 more times chilling for ⏱️ 30 minutes in between. Then wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for ⏱️ 1 hour.
8
Shaping and Baking
9
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment.
10
On a floured surface, roll the chilled dough into a large, thin rectangle, about 10x18 inches (25x45cm), cut in half lengthwise, and then cut each half into 4 squares.
11
Cut all 8 squares of dough in half diagonally.
12
For each crescent roll, gently stretch and roll a triangle of dough from the wide end to the tip and place on the prepared baking sheet with the tip under the roll.
13
When all the dough is rolled, brush with the egg wash and bake on middle racks in the oven for ⏱️ 30-35 minutes, until golden brown.
14
These rolls are best the day they are made but you can store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
