Ingredients
- 220 g fresh-milled einkorn flour
- 330 g bread flour
- 275 g warm milk, hold back 20 g
- 1 large egg (about 50 g)
- 35 g honey
- 45 g softened butter for dough
- 70 g soft butter for spreading
- 9 g fine salt
- 7 g instant yeast
- 1 beaten egg for brushing
Method
- Mix flours, 255 g milk, egg and honey; rest covered 20 minutes.
- Add yeast, salt and 45 g butter. Mix on low 5–6 minutes, adding reserved milk only if needed.
- Rise covered until 60–75% larger, about 60–90 minutes. Chill 15 minutes if sticky.
- Divide in two. Roll each into a 12-inch circle, spread each with 35 g soft butter, then cut each into six wedges.
- Roll each wedge wide end to tip, keep point underneath, curve slightly. Proof 35–50 minutes until puffy.
- Brush with beaten egg. Bake at 375°F for 16–19 minutes to at least 195°F inside. Cool before splitting.
Fresh-milled notes
These are butter-layered crescent rolls, not laminated croissants. A 40% einkorn blend keeps its flavor and reliable rise.
Freeze fully cooled rolls airtight. Toast cut sides or refresh briefly in a warm oven for sandwiches.
