Imagine waking up to the smell of freshly baked bread in the morning. Yes, it's possible today as we celebrate National Cinnamon Crescent Day! It's time to fill our home with warmth and this mouth-watering pastry that goes well with milk, coffee or tea!
A crescent roll is similar to a croissant. The outside features a light flaky crust that reveals a warm and buttery inside. The key to a perfect croissant is laminating the dough. Laminating the dough is a process by which butter is folded into the mixture creating multiple thin layers of butter and dough.
The crescent-shaped dough is then filled with sugar, cinnamon, and butter. It is then rolled, shaped and baked to golden brown deliciousness. You can add icing for an extra sweet touch. While amazing served piping hot from the oven, these rolls also taste delicious once they've cooled down. Don't hesitate to make extra, because they will not last long.
While you enjoy eating your crescent roll, remember that cinnamon is a good source of manganese, fiber, iron and calcium.
