Abstract: 
We present a method to iteratively construct new bent functions of n + 2 variables from a bent function of n variables and its cyclic shift permutations using minterms of n variables and minterms of 2 variables. In addition, we provide the number of bent functions of n + 2 variables that we can obtain by applying the method here presented, and finally we compare this method with a previous one introduced by us in 2008 and with the Rothaus and Maiorana-McFarland constructions.
