Dry Yeast? Can I use dry yeast for this recipe? It does not specify…

I believe either. But here is the conversion: 2 1/4 teaspoons dry active, instant, or rapid-rise yeast granules (usually one 1/4-ounce packet) = 2/3 ounce fresh yeast

Soft, fluffy, just amazing to bite into These onion crescents are a wonder! Soft and oh so tasty.
I separated the dough into 200 gram pieces and rolled as thin as poss about 8 inches wide. Covered generously with caramelized onions – I fried 5 diced onions till golden/slightly brown.
Also, I sprinkled a bit of salt over the crescents after egging, before baking.

I will be freezing these for Yom tov;)

YUM!!!!
