How to Make Savoury Crescents

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 2 ¼ teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 teaspoon sugar. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add 4 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons olive oil to the yeast mixture. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  4. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour.
  5. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a large baking sheet.
  6. Punch down the dough and roll it out into a 12x16 inch rectangle.
  7. **Filling 1 (Mediterranean):** Spread ½ cup pesto over half of the dough. Top with ½ cup crumbled feta cheese, ½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and ¼ cup sliced Kalamata olives.
  8. **Filling 2 (Meaty):** Spread ½ cup tomato sauce over the other half of the dough. Top with 1 cup chopped salami, ½ cup sautéed mushrooms, and ¼ cup chopped fresh oregano.
  9. Cut the dough into 12 equal strips (6 per filling).
  10. Starting from the long edge, roll each strip up tightly into a crescent shape.
  11. Place the crescents on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them.
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  13. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
