Description

These homemade Filled Crescent Rolls offer a delightful twist on traditional breakfast breads, combining the soft texture of yeast dough with the sweet burst of fruit jam. Using scalded soy or rice milk and a touch of applesauce, these rolls are naturally rich and tender without heavy butter. The addition of quick rolled oats adds a subtle nuttiness and wholesome texture. Perfect for a cozy weekend brunch, a festive holiday morning, or as an afternoon treat with coffee, these rolls are easy to assemble and visually appealing. The dough rises twice for maximum fluffiness, resulting in a pastry that is light, airy, and generously filled. A simple yet impressive dish that brings warmth and comfort to any table, these vegetarian-friendly rolls are sure to become a family favorite.

Directions

Dissolve yeast in warm water in a large bowl and let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
Stir in scalded and cooled milk, brown sugar, salt, prepared egg replacer, applesauce, oats, and 1 cup of flour.
Beat mixture until smooth and well combined.
Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough that is easy to handle.
Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes.
Place dough in a bowl sprayed with nonstick coating and spray top of dough with more nonstick spray.
Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
Punch down dough to release air bubbles.
Roll dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle.
Spread jam or preserves evenly over the entire surface of the dough.
Cut the dough circle into 8 equal wedges.
Roll up each wedge, beginning at the wide rounded end and rolling toward the point.
Place rolls on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray, curving them into crescent shapes with the points tucked underneath.
Cover and let rise again until doubled in size, about 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 350F (175C).
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until rolls are golden brown.

Note

Ensure the scalded milk is cooled to lukewarm before adding to the yeast mixture to avoid killing the yeast.

The dough is ready for the first rise if an indentation remains when gently touched.

Any fruit-only jam or preserve can be used; strawberry, raspberry, or apricot work particularly well.

For a gluten-free version, use a gluten-free flour blend and ensure all other ingredients are certified gluten-free.

Store cooled rolls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or freeze for longer storage.

If the dough feels too sticky during kneading, add flour one tablespoon at a time. If too dry, add water one teaspoon at a time.
