What it is

Latvia's crescent rolls: soft yeast buns shaped like moons, filled with smoked bacon and onion — the pīrāgi no celebration table can be without. Ingredients: flour, milk, butter, yeast, sugar, eggs (dough); filling: smoked bacon or speck, onion, black pepper, caraway (optional). Recipe: 1) Make an enriched dough; proof until billowy. 2) Fry bacon and onion; season with pepper. 3) Cut dough rounds; fill; fold and pinch into crescents. 4) Bake until glossy gold. Serve: warm, by the dozen — diaspora Latvians in Toronto and Sydney bake them as a taste of home. Flavor: buttery, smoky, gently spiced. History: pīrāgi mark Jāņi (Midsummer) and Christmas alike; their shape is said to echo the crescent moon of solstice nights. See also: Pelēkie Zirņi (Grey Peas with Speck), Sklandrausis.
