It turns out a double roll. We cut it into pieces 0.5 cm thick, lay out the “ears” on a baking sheet covered with parchment, and bake until cooked.
We cut the dough into squares, in the middle of each we lay out a non-liquid filling: pieces of apples, cherries, cottage cheese, or boiled eggs With green onion, or mushrooms fried with onions. We bend the squares of dough diagonally to make a triangle, and press along the perimeter with a finger, stepping back 1 cm from the edge: then the filling will not “run away” during baking, and the edges of the “corners” will delaminate beautifully.

Roll out the dough into a circle 0.5 cm thick and cut into triangular segments, as for bagels.

Dip the top side of the croissant into the beaten egg, then into the sugar. Put on a baking sheet and bake until golden brown.
