Ingredients
Homemade Crescent Dough
- 1½ cups all purpose flour (195 grams)
- ½ cup warm milk
- ¼ cup melted butter
- 2¼ teaspoons instant or quick yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ¾ teaspoon salt
- 30 little smokies
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon water
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried parsley
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- OPTIONAL: you can use store bought crescent dough and save on prep time.
- In a large bowl, stir together 1 cup flour, milk, butter, yeast, sugar, and salt. Add just enough flour to the dough so that it becomes smooth but no longer sticky -- don't add too much!
- Divide dough into 4 portions and roll out into a rough rectangle, about 3 inches wide by 6 inches long. Cut rectangle into roughly 7-8 skinny triangles.
- Place one smoke at the wide end of each triangle and roll up, pressing end to stick.
- Repeat until all are done. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, beat egg with water. In another small bowl, stir together garlic powder and parsley.
- Brush egg over tops of pigs in a blanket and immediately sprinkle with a bit of seasoning. Repeat until all are done.
- Bake for 15 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
