Preparation time: 30 minutes
Rising time: 1 hour
Baking time: 20-25 minutes
Total: 1 hour and 30 minutes
Servings: 20 crescent rolls

Ingredients:
- 500 g wheat flour
- 25 g fresh yeast
- 250 ml lukewarm milk
- 100 g sugar (plus 1 tablespoon for activating the yeast)
- 100 ml oil (or melted butter)
- 1 egg (for brushing the crescent rolls)
- A pinch of salt
- Powdered sugar (for decoration, optional)
- Apricot jam, plum jam, or ground nuts (for filling)

Step by step:

1. Activating the yeast: In a small bowl, mix the fresh yeast with a few tablespoons of lukewarm milk and a tablespoon of sugar. Cover with a towel and let it sit for 10-15 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy, indicating that the yeast is active.

2. Preparing the dough: In a large bowl, sift the flour and add a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center of the flour and pour in the activated yeast mixture. Add the remaining lukewarm milk and oil (or melted butter). Mix the ingredients with a spatula or by hand until a smooth dough forms.

3. Kneading: On a well-floured work surface, knead the dough for about 10 minutes until it becomes elastic and smooth. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, but be careful not to overdo it.

4. Rising: Place the dough in a bowl greased with a little oil, cover it with a towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.

5. Shaping the crescent rolls: Once the dough has risen, turn it out onto the work surface and divide it into 4-5 pieces. Roll each piece into a thin circle, then cut it into triangles. Place a teaspoon of jam or a filling of ground nuts at the base of each triangle and roll it up towards the tip, forming the crescent.

6. Baking: Arrange the crescent rolls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Beat the egg and brush each crescent with it for a beautiful golden crust. Let them rise for another 15-20 minutes, then bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20-25 minutes, or until golden.

7. Serving: Once cooled, you can sprinkle powdered sugar on top for an elegant finish. These fluffy crescent rolls are delicious both warm and cold and pair perfectly with a cup of tea or coffee.

Helpful tips:
- You can add flavors like vanilla essence or lemon zest to the dough for an extra touch of flavor.
- If you want a gluten-free version, replace the wheat flour with a special gluten-free flour for baking.
- Try various fillings, such as melted chocolate or candied fruits, to change the flavor of the crescent rolls.

These fluffy crescent rolls are a perfect choice for any occasion, whether it's a family meal or a gathering with friends. Their delicious taste and fluffy texture will surely delight everyone!
