Time 50m

Yield Makes 10

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream, plus more for brushing
2 large eggs
4 ounces sharp cheddar, shredded (1 cup)
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions (from 4 to 6), plus more for sprinkling
2 tablespoons fresh dill sprigs, plus more for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Toss butter in flour mixture to evenly coat, then press between your fingers until mixture has the texture of coarse meal, with a few pea-size pieces remaining. In another bowl, whisk together cream and eggs.
  • Make a well in flour mixture; add egg mixture, cheddar, scallions, and dill. Stir together with a fork until dough begins to form but mixture is still crumbly. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface; knead just to combine (do not overwork). Pat out 1/2 inch thick. With a floured 2 3/4-inch biscuit cutter, cut out rounds, as closely together as possible; place on prepared sheet. Gather scraps; pat out again and repeat.
  • Brush tops with cream; sprinkle with more dill and scallions. Bake, rotating sheet halfway through, until golden brown, 23 to 25 minutes. Let cool completely.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 3h40m

Yield 24 rolls

Number Of Ingredients 19

Basic Dinner-Roll Dough, recipe follows
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Cooking spray
All-purpose flour, for dusting
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 cup grated Havarti cheese (about 4 ounces)
1 cup grated sharp white Cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
3/4 teaspoon sesame seeds
3/4 teaspoon poppy seeds
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons sugar
1 1/4 -ounce packet active dry yeast
4 1/4 to 4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Mix-ins (herbs, spices, cheese, etc.)
Vegetable oil or cooking spray, for the bowl

Steps:

  • Make the Basic Dinner-Roll Dough, using the Parmesan as the mix-in. Let rise as directed.
  • Lightly coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide in half. Roll or stretch each half into a 12-inch round, about 1/4 inch thick. Brush each round with some of the beaten egg and sprinkle with the Havarti and Cheddar, leaving a 1-inch border. Lightly press on the cheese to ensure it sticks.
  • Cut each round into 12 wedges with a pizza cutter or chef's knife. Starting from the wide ends, roll up each wedge. Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheets, bending the ends slightly to create a crescent. Loosely cover with plastic wrap; let stand until puffy, about 45 minutes.
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375 degrees F. Combine the sesame seeds, poppy seeds and salt in a small bowl. Brush the crescents with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with the seed mixture. Bake, switching and rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the rolls are golden brown, about 25 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
  • Warm the milk and 1/2 cup water in a small saucepan or in the microwave until very warm (110 degrees F). Transfer to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the dough hook; mix in the sugar, yeast and 1 cup flour until combined but still lumpy. Let stand until the mixture is very bubbly, about 30 minutes.
  • Add the butter, salt and 2 cups flour; mix on medium speed until smooth and elastic, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix in the eggs until combined, scraping the bottom and side of the bowl as needed. Add 1 1/4 cups flour and the mix-ins, if using; mix until the dough is smooth and starts to gather into a loose ball, about 4 minutes. The dough should be slightly sticky; if it's too wet, add the remaining 1/4 cup flour.
  • Lightly oil a large bowl; scrape the dough into the bowl and turn to coat with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, about 2 hours.

Tips:

  • Use cold butter. This will help the crescents stay flaky and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Grate the cheese finely. This will help it distribute evenly throughout the crescents.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the crescents tough.
  • Bake the crescents until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.

Conclusion:

Herbed cheddar crescents are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a quick bite to eat. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of these tasty treats that everyone will love.
