Description
These quick and easy crescent rolls are baked to golden perfection, making them a delightful side dish or snack for the whole family.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 Tbsp dry active yeast
- 11 Tbsp margarine or softened butter (about 2/3 cup)
- 3/4 cup warm water
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water with the dry active yeast and sugar. Let it sit for about 5–10 minutes until frothy.
- While waiting for the yeast, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder in a large bowl.
- Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the dry ingredients along with the softened margarine or butter. Mix until a rough dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead gently for about 5 minutes until it’s smooth and elastic.
- Place the kneaded dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a towel, and let it rise for about 30 minutes.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Punch down the risen dough gently. Roll it out into a large circle, about 1/4 inch thick, and cut into 8 wedges.
- Roll each wedge from the wide end to the pointy end to form crescent shapes.
- Place the rolled crescents on an ungreased baking sheet and bake for about 15–20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Let cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving warm.
