These ham and cheese crescent rolls use a no-rise dough made with all-purpose flour, quark (farmer's cheese), Palmarin (solid vegetable shortening), egg, oil, milk, and baking powder. Roll out the dough and cut it into squares, top each with a slice of ham and cheese, then roll up from one corner.
Before baking, brush the rolls with egg and sprinkle with coarse salt.

Make the dough
Combine the flour, quark, Palmarin, one egg, oil, milk, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Work into a smooth dough and let rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Fill and roll
Roll out the dough to about 3 mm thick and cut into equal-sized squares. Place a slice of ham and cheese on each square, then roll up from one corner toward the opposite corner.
Bake
Place the rolls on an oiled baking sheet, brush with beaten egg, and sprinkle with coarse salt. Bake in an oven preheated to 200 °C (400 °F) for about 30 minutes, until golden brown.
Tip: Keep the ham and cheese slightly away from the edges of each square so the melted cheese does not leak out during baking. Once cooled, the rolls can be reheated briefly in the oven.
