Soft croissants with sesame
Description
Perfectly pairs with tea and coffee. Since the dough doesn't require adding a lot of sugar during preparation, these rolls can be served with any savory dish, whether it's soup or meat. You can also drizzle the rolls with syrup, jam, or preserves and serve them with coffee or tea as a sweet treat. Thanks to the wheat sourdough starter, this baked good is much healthier than yeast-based products. You can replace the sesame seeds with sunflower seeds or cumin. In any case, the baked goods will turn out very delicious. The baking is ready. Serve at the table.
