Introduction

Welcome to the world of sweet delights!

These crescent rolls do not contain sugar in the dough, only fruit yogurt, which gives them an irresistible aroma and a wonderful texture. Additionally, they are extremely easy to prepare and pair wonderfully with a cup of warm milk or fragrant tea. Let's get started!

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 15-20 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes
Number of servings: 24 crescent rolls

Ingredients

- 500 g flour
- 250 g fruit yogurt (choose your favorite flavor)
- 250 g butter (82% fat)
- 1 packet baking powder
- 2 packets vanilla sugar
- A pinch of salt
- Thick jam or chocolate spread (for filling)
- Powdered vanilla sugar for dusting

Preparation

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Make sure the butter is of good quality to achieve perfect texture in your crescent rolls. You can choose a fruit yogurt flavor like peach, raspberry, or strawberry, depending on your preferences.

2. Melting the butter: Place the butter in a bowl and melt it using a double boiler or microwave. Make sure it cools well before adding it to the mixture. This step is essential to prevent cooking the flour.

3. Mixing the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt. Mixing these dry ingredients before adding the wet ones will ensure an even distribution and contribute to a better dough texture.

4. Adding the wet ingredients: Add the melted and cooled butter, fruit yogurt, and mix well with a spatula or by hand until you obtain a homogeneous dough. The dough should be fragrant, smooth, and easy to roll out. If it is too sticky, you can add a little more flour, but be careful not to overdo it, as this may make the crescent rolls less tender.

5. Rolling out the dough: Sprinkle flour on the work surface and roll out the dough into a sheet about 0.5 cm thick. Use a floured rolling pin to prevent the dough from sticking.

6. Cutting and filling the crescent rolls: Use a plate or round cutter to cut circles from the dough. On each circle, place a teaspoon of thick jam or chocolate spread. Then, cut rays from the edge of the circle, being careful not to reach the center. Twist the rays inward and roll the crescent rolls from the base to the tip, forming a croissant shape.

7. Baking: Place the crescent rolls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and bake the crescent rolls for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn golden and slightly browned. Check them occasionally to ensure they do not burn.

8. Finishing and serving: Once you take them out of the oven, let them cool slightly, then dust them with powdered vanilla sugar. This detail will not only make them look better but will also add a sweet and aromatic taste.

Serving and suggestions

The tender crescent rolls with fruit yogurt and jam are ideal to be served warm, alongside a cup of warm milk or fruit tea. You can also serve them with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, turning them into a special dessert. These crescent rolls are perfect for sharing with family and friends, especially during the holidays.

Variations and tips

- Filling variations: Instead of jam, you can use Nutella, almond paste, or even sweet cheese mixed with raisins for a hearty option.
- Adding spices: Consider adding cinnamon or nutmeg to the dough for an extra flavor boost.
- Diet-friendly crescent rolls: If you want to reduce calories, you can replace the butter with a mix of coconut oil and yogurt, but the texture will be different.

Frequently asked questions

1. Can I use other types of yogurt?
Yes, you can use natural yogurt or Greek yogurt, but you will need to adjust the amount of added sugar since natural yogurt is less sweet.

2. What can I do with leftover crescent rolls?
If you have leftover crescent rolls, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. You can also freeze them and bake them again in the oven to revive their flavor.

3. How can I make the crescent rolls crispier?
If you prefer crispier crescent rolls, bake them for a few extra minutes, but be careful not to burn them.

Nutritional benefits

These crescent rolls are a healthier choice due to the use of fruit yogurt, which provides calcium and protein. Quality butter contributes to a rich taste, and the jam adds vitamins from fruit, making it a delicious and less processed option.

In conclusion, these tender crescent rolls with fruit yogurt and jam are not only a simple recipe but also a wonderful way to bring joy and warmth into your home. I wish you much success in preparing them and an unforgettable culinary experience! Enjoy!
