For a richer flavor, use European-style butter with a higher fat content. Ensure your water is at the correct temperature (110°F/45°C) to activate the yeast properly. If the dough is too sticky while kneading, add a tablespoon of flour at a time until it becomes manageable. Allowing the dough to rise in a warm environment will speed up the process. For a sweeter finish, brush the baked crescents with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
