Hazelnut Crescent Rolls – A Delight That Will Impress You

Instructions:

1. Make the dough:
   Put the flour, butter, and cream cheese into a mixing bowl. Knead everything with the dough hook of a hand mixer until smooth. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for about 13–15 minutes.

2. Prepare the filling base:
   Divide the dough into 4 equal pieces. In a small bowl, mix the brown and white sugar with the ground hazelnuts.

3. Roll and shape the dough:
   Sprinkle 1/4 of the sugar-nut mixture onto your work surface. Roll out one piece of dough into a round sheet (~26 cm in diameter).

4. Cut into triangles:
   Use a cake divider (or a knife) to cut the round dough into 16 wedges.

5. Shape the crescents:
   Roll each wedge into a crescent shape, starting from the wide end and rolling towards the point.

6. Bake:
   Place the crescents point side up on two baking trays lined with parchment paper.
   Bake one tray at a time in a preheated oven at:

   • 185°C (top/bottom heat)

   • 155°C (fan/convection)

   • Gas: level 2
     Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until lightly golden.

Optional Finishing Touch:

Once cooled, drizzle or dip the crescents with dark or white chocolate for extra indulgence.
