If the room temperature is lower, you can preheat the oven to 100⁰C/212⁰F, turn it off and place the dough in a warm but not hot oven to rise.


Mix flour, dry yeast, baking powder, and salt. 

Add yogurt and milk. 

Use a mixer to combine the dough until the ingredients are mixed. 

Transfer it to a lightly floured surface. 

Knead the dough hard with your hands, shaping it into a ball.

Prepare the oven for baking - preheat to 200⁰C/392⁰F.

Once the dough has risen, place it on a lightly floured surface, cut it into two parts, and shape two balls. 

Roll out each ball into a circular shape and cut triangles of approximately the same width. 

Place the cut melted cheese on the wider part of the triangle and roll the crescent rolls from the wider end towards the narrower end. 

Beat one egg and generously brush each crescent roll with the egg using a culinary brush.
