Medialuna Recipe

Media Lunas in basketMedialunas are Argentine crescent rolls. They are light and sweet and can be served with any meal.



This recipe makes about 20 to 25 medialuna rolls. I found that if you store them in an airtight container, they stayed fresh for about a week.



Ingredients:

3 cups all-purpose flour

pinch of salt

1/2 cup sugar

1 tbsp dry yeast

1 tspn sugar

1 tbsp all-purpose flour

3 eggs

1 egg yolk

1/3 cup warm water

2 tbsp butter



Preparation:

  1. In a small bowl, mix the yeast, 1 tspn sugar, and 1 tbsp flour. Add 1/3 cup warm water and stir well. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or foil and allow yeast to ferment in a warm place for about 20 minutes.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, 1/2 cup sugar, melted butter, and 1/2 cup warm water. Mix thoroughly.
  3. Add flour, salt, and yeast mixture to the large mixing bowl. Mix until all of the ingredients have combined. Add a little more flour, if necessary, so that dough cleans the sides of the bowl.
  4. Turn dough out of bowl onto a floured surface and knead until dough is soft and smooth.
  5. Form a round loaf and place in a bowl. Cover with a dry towel and let dough rest in a warm place for about an hour.
  6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

  7. Divide dough into three parts and roll out each part to form a large rectangle. From each rectangle, cut triangles (about 10cm by 12 cm).
  8. Roll each triangle up to form a crescent.
  9. Set crescents on a greased baking sheet.
  10. Brush crescents with egg yolk.
  11. Bake medialunas for 12 - 15 minutes.
