Whole wheat adds fiber, while bread flour can enhance texture.

Mix warm milk and yeast in a bowl until foamy, about 5 minutes.

Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl.

Add the yeast mixture and water to the dry ingredients; mix until a dough forms.

Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth, about 10 minutes.

Let the dough rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1-2 hours.

Roll out the dough into a rectangle and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.

Soften the butter and spread it over two-thirds of the dough.

Fold the unbuttered third over the buttered part, then fold the remaining third on top, creating a layered rectangle.

Roll out the dough again and fold it into thirds; repeat this process two more times, chilling between folds.

Roll the dough into a large rectangle and cut into triangles.

Roll each triangle from the base to the tip, forming a crescent shape.

Place on a baking sheet and let rise until puffy, about 1 hour.

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).

Brush with beaten egg and bake until golden brown, about 15-20 minutes.
