Crescents from yeast dough
Description
The pastry is simple and quick to prepare. Soft, fluffy, crispy, with a golden crust and a pleasant aroma—this is all about my favorite croissants. Sometimes I buy ready-made ones from the bakery, but on weekends I like to make them at home. They don't necessarily have to be sweet; this recipe proves it. Serve them with tea or coffee.
