Three-Cheese Crescents
- Basic Dinner-Roll Dough
- 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Cooking spray
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 1 cup grated havarti cheese (about 4 ounces)
- 1 cup grated sharp white cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
- 3/4 teaspoon sesame seeds
- 3/4 teaspoon poppy seeds
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- Make the Basic Dinner-Roll Dough, using the parmesan as the mix-in.
- Let rise as directed.
- Lightly coat 2 baking sheets with cooking spray.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide in half.
- Roll or stretch each half into a 12-inch round, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Brush each round with some of the beaten egg and sprinkle with the havarti and cheddar, leaving a 1-inch border.
- Lightly press on the cheese to ensure it sticks.
- Cut each round into 12 wedges with a pizza cutter or chef's knife.
- Starting from the wide ends, roll up each wedge.
- Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheets, bending the ends slightly to create a crescent.
- Loosely cover with plastic wrap; let stand until puffy, about 45 minutes.
- Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 375 degrees F. Combine the sesame seeds, poppy seeds and salt in a small bowl.
- Brush the crescents with the remaining beaten egg and sprinkle with the seed mixture.
- Bake, switching and rotating the baking sheets halfway through, until the rolls are golden brown, about 25 minutes.
- Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
