Ingredients
  

For the Dough

  • 3 cups Kim's all-purpose gluten-free flour blend
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 1.5 tbsp instant yeast
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 2 cups cold butter cut into thick chunks (about 1/2 to 1 inch)
  • 2 large cold eggs
  • 1 cup cold whole milk

For the Egg Wash (optional)

  • 1 large egg beaten with 1 tbsp of milk, cream, or water

Instructions
 

  • Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour blend, sugar, yeast, and salt.
  • Add Butter: Drop in the cold butter chunks. Use your fingertips to press and flatten the butter into the dry mix. Aim for visible bits of butter throughout the mixture.
  • Blend the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the cold eggs with the milk.
  • Combine Wet and Dry: Make a well in the dry mix. Pour in the egg-milk blend. Use a fork or hands to mix until no dry flour remains. Dough will be sticky.
  • Chill the Dough: Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  • Prep for Baking: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking trays with parchment paper.
  • Roll and Cut: Lightly flour your surface. Roll dough into a 14-inch circle. Slice into 8 triangles.
  • Shape the Rolls: Starting at the wide end, roll each triangle toward the tip. Curve ends slightly to form crescents.
  • Bake: Arrange rolls on baking trays. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden.
  • Serve: Enjoy them warm for the best texture.

Notes

Chilling the dough is essential for flaky texture and ease of handling.
For dairy-free: Use plant-based butter and milk alternatives.
You can freeze shaped but unbaked crescents. Thaw, proof, and bake as needed.
