Make sure to bend them a bit after you roll them so the look like cute crescents. 9. Brush each one with a but of egg yolk and roll in toasted sesame seeds or sugar.10. Arrange rolled crescents in a greased baking sheet and bake till ready.!!! Note: you do not have to leave a lot of space between the rolls on the tray because they keep their shape very well. 11. I bake them for 40 minutes. Baking time might be shorter, it depends on you over. They are ready when the edges look golden brown.12.
