Recipe
Fasting, dieting, and healthier eating often force us to give up our favorite baked goods. If it feels as stressful for you as it is for me, then you’re in for a treat. Literally. Today’s recipe for jam-filled crescent rolls does not feature any eggs or dairy. Nonetheless, the dough turns out tender and crumbly.
It is enough to mix seltzer with vegetable oil and flour. In addition to jam, nuts, fruit, and dried fruit, ground poppy seeds and chocolate make an excellent filling. If you’re feeling adventurous, make an assortment of crescent rolls with different filling, and let everyone in the family choose the ones they like most.
