Ingredients

  • 250 g plain flour
  • 150 ml full-fat milk

Metric - US Customary

Instructions

  • To make the dough, warm up the milk (not hot), add the yeast, a teaspoon of sugar and a teaspoon of flour, and set aside for 10 minutes for the yeast mixture to become frothy.
  • Sift the rest of the flour in a large bowl, add the remaining sugar, a pinch of salt, oil, vanilla extract and the milk mixture.
  • Knead well for at least 5 minutes, the dough should be elastic and not stick to the hands at all - use more flour if necessary.
  • Shape it into a ball, cover with clingfilm and leave to prove for 1-1,5 hours in a warm place to double its volume.
  • Once the dough has proven, transfer it to the work surface and roll it into a large circle.
  • Cut it first in half, then quarters, then half the quarters too, so you end up with 8 pizza-like slices.
  • Add a tablespoon of chocolate chips near the edges of each triangle, then roll starting from the outside.
  • Brush each crescent roll with beaten egg.
  • Preheat the oven to 170 degrees Celsius. (340 Fahrenheit)
  • Line a large baking tray with non-stick paper, arrange the crescents on it, then bake for about 20 minutes until golden.
