Medialunas

Step by stepInstructions

1. Dissolve the yeast and 1 tablespoon of the sugar in the warm milk and let it foam for 10 minutes.
2. Mix the flour, remaining sugar, and salt, then add the yeast mixture, eggs, and softened butter; knead for 8 minutes into a smooth, elastic dough.
3. Cover and let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, until doubled.
4. Roll the dough into a large rectangle, fold it into thirds like a letter, and roll it out again to 1/4-inch thick.
5. Cut long triangles, roll each one up from the wide base, and curve the ends inward into a crescent; place on a parchment-lined sheet.
6. Let the medialunas proof for 45 minutes, then bake at 375°F for 12 to 15 minutes, until deep golden brown.
7. While hot, brush generously with the sugar-water-honey glaze and let them cool on a rack.
